High Mountain Sources, Household Pipes

Whole house water filtration in Leadville, CO is less about fixing a bad supply and more about what happens between the source and your faucet. Most of Leadville is served by the Parkville Water District, which describes its supply as high quality, high elevation sources and lists three reservoirs and five wells. Its 2026 report names Big Evans Reservoir as the surface intake and the Elkhorn Well, the Canterbury Tunnel well and three Arkansas wells as groundwater sources. Our team travels from Grand Junction to Leadville to run a free water test at your home. Call (970) 773-6439 to book one.

The reason to test is plumbing. Parkville's latest report sampled 21 household taps for lead in 2025. The 90th percentile result was 3 parts per billion, well under the 15 ppb action level, but the individual results ranged from zero to 50, and one home was above the action level. Same water, very different plumbing. Smart Living Water holds a 4.9 rating across 76 Google reviews and is a member of the Western Colorado Home Builders Association, and we'll show you where your house lands.

What We Check in Leadville Water

Low numbers at the source still leave room for surprises in the pipes.

Lead and Copper at Your Tap

Lead in drinking water comes mostly from service lines, solder and fixtures inside older homes, not from the source. That's exactly what the spread in Parkville's tap samples shows. A test at your own faucet is the only way to know which end of that range you're on.

Chlorine and Its Byproducts

Parkville disinfects with chlorine, and its 2025 sampling shows total trihalomethanes averaging 13.02 ppb against an 80 ppb limit, with haloacetic acids averaging 9.71 ppb against 60. Both are in compliance. A carbon stage takes out the chlorine taste and further reduces byproducts if you'd like them lower.

Natural Radionuclides

The 2026 report lists combined uranium at 1 ppb (the limit is 30) and combined radium at 1.1 pCi/L (the limit is 5). Those are low. Private wells in mountain geology can be a different matter, which is why we treat them separately.

Hardness and Minerals

Parkville's report doesn't publish a hardness figure, and we won't guess one. We measure it, along with dissolved solids and pH, so a softener only comes up if your numbers support it.

What We Install

What We Install for Leadville Homes

The test result decides which of these, if any, makes sense.

Whole House Filtration

A whole house water filtration system treats chlorine, sediment and byproducts for every tap and shower in the house at once.

Drinking Water Filtration

If lead from older plumbing is the concern, a certified filter at the kitchen tap is a fast, focused fix. Our drinking water filtration options cover the water you actually drink and cook with.

Whole Home Reverse Osmosis

For wells or tests that turn up dissolved contaminants a carbon filter can't catch, whole-home RO treats all the water in the house through a membrane.

HydraShield Elite

The HydraShield Elite is our most complete saltless whole-home system, designed to run maintenance-free under normal use.

What Leadville Homeowners Should Know

Parkville's 2026 report includes a source water assessment, a screening-level list of what could affect water quality in the watershed. For Leadville it names EPA Superfund sites, abandoned mine sites, septic systems and road miles, among others. The report is careful to say a potential source is not the same as contamination. Parkville's report shows its treated water meeting the limits it lists. The part you control is your own plumbing. Parkville runs a Service Line Replacement Reimbursement program for eligible leaks on customer-owned service lines, and its website has a page on lead in drinking water. If you're in an older house and don't know what your service line is made of, those are worth a look alongside a tap test. If you're on a private well outside the district, none of Parkville's numbers apply to you. Well water needs its own test, and the free water test is a good first read before deciding whether you need a certified lab panel.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies Leadville's water?

The Parkville Water District serves the Leadville area, roughly 2,700 connections and about 5,500 people according to the district. Its 2026 report lists Big Evans Reservoir as a surface intake plus the Elkhorn Well, the Canterbury Tunnel well and three Arkansas wells.

Is there lead in Leadville tap water?

The source water isn't the issue. In Parkville's 2025 tap sampling the 90th percentile lead result was 3 ppb, under the 15 ppb action level, but one of 21 homes tested was above it. Lead comes from household plumbing, so testing your own tap is the way to find out.

Do Leadville homes need a water softener?

We can't tell you from the district's report, which doesn't list hardness. We measure it during the free test and only suggest softening if your result calls for it.

What does a whole-home filter do on Parkville water?

It removes chlorine taste and smell, reduces disinfection byproducts like TTHMs and HAA5, and catches sediment before it reaches fixtures and appliances.
