Water Supply FAQs
Meridian’s water comes from a combination of groundwater supplies in the Denver Basin Aquifer system and renewable surface water supplies.
Meridian’s water meets or exceeds all mandates for clean water. Testing is done using sophisticated equipment and advanced procedures. Water quality is regulated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Meridian’s water quality is summarized in its Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) which is available on the District’s website under the Water Services tab.
Water pressure can fluctuate due to high usage times. Pumps are working harder to get the water to residents.
Meridian recycles 100% of its water. In addition, Meridian has a state approved water conservation plan which is available on the District website.
Wastewater FAQs
Wastewater is used water that can include substances such as human waste, food scraps, oils, soaps and chemicals. In homes, this means water from sinks, showers, bathtubs, toilets, washing machines and dishwashers. Businesses and industries also contribute their share of used water that must be cleaned. Meridian’s wastewater is treated at the District’s sewer plant.
Reclaimed Water
What is reclaimed water? Reclaimed water is wastewater that is treated and substances and contaminants are removed. Reclaimed water must meet certain water quality standards and then can be used for outdoor irrigation.
How is reclaimed water used in Meridian? Meridian’s reclaimed irrigation water is currently used on the golf course, commercial properties, parks, and common areas. Reclaimed water is not delivered directly to residential customers.
Stormwater
What is stormwater? Stormwater is rainwater, snow melt, or water that runs off of a surface (like driveways, parking lots, or rooftops) and goes into a gutter, ditch, or roadside drain, and ultimately into the storm drain system. In Meridian all stormwater is captured in detention ponds in order to control both the water quality and volume of stormwater runoff.
