Dear Residents,
As you are aware, the District is experiencing elevated levels of Radium 226/228 in the water.
The Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL), as set by the State, is 5 pCi/L. Radium is tested on a quarterly basis. If the average of the prior four quarters is above 5 pCi/L, we are in violation of health department regulations and required to notify all residents.
The 2021 second quarter Radium level is 5.1 pCi/L and the four quarter average is 5.58 pCi/L. Radium levels have decreased each quarter for the last four quarters, however, we are still over the MCL. The Board of Directors is investigating other water sources and pursuing treatment options with a local engineering firm. Designing and implementing a treatment solution is a lengthy process. The Board is working diligently to rectify the problem as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thank you for your patience.
Please visit www.TellerWater1.com for regular updates. Should you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the office at (719) 687-0761 or e-mail tellerwater@gmail.com. Questions and comments are also addressed at the monthly Board meetings, which are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 5:00 PM, 212 S Chestnut Street, Woodland Park.
Sincerely,
Teller Admin Team
