Water comes from Kersey WD water system
The Kersey WD water system supplies Kersey: about 73% of residents live in its service area. About 27% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It buys treated surface water (EPA lists Central Weld Cnty WD as seller) and serves 2,101 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 78% of the 7,966 systems serving 1,001–3,300 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2023, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 1.9 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
