If your Colorado Springs home is being supplied by untested well water, you may want to switch to home bottled water delivery. Beneath our stunning landscape lies a less-than-picturesque reality of varying water quality across our region. If you’re among the thousands of Coloradoans relying on well water for your daily needs, you might have concerns about your water’s quality, and rightfully so.
Clearly Colorado has been delivering pure Rocky Mountain water to homes across Colorado for almost three decades. We’ve heard countless stories from folks who made the switch to home bottled water delivery, and their reasons often boil down to one thing: peace of mind.
Understanding Well Water in Colorado Springs
Geological diversity directly impacts the water quality in wells throughout El Paso County. Well water comes from aquifers (underground layers of water-bearing permeable rock). Aquifers can provide clean drinking water, but they’re also vulnerable to contamination from various sources.
Agricultural runoff, industrial activities, aging septic systems, and natural mineral deposits can all affect your well water quality.
Unfortunately, many contaminants are tasteless, odorless, and colorless, so even if your water tastes clean, it could be contaminated.
Well Water Contamination Is More Common Than You Think
Well water contamination is common in the Colorado Springs area. According to water quality data from El Paso County, common contaminants found in local well water include:
- Nitrates from fertilizers used in residential landscapes and small farms around Black Forest and Falcon
- Coliform bacteria from failing septic systems, especially in older properties
- Heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and uranium that naturally occur in our Rocky Mountain geological formations
- Radon, which is particularly prevalent in Colorado’s granite-based landscapes
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from household chemicals, paints, and fuels
- High levels of PFAS from non-stick pans and fire retardants
Making the switch to home bottled water delivery can protect your household from ingesting harmful contaminants.

The Testing Burden Falls Entirely on You
If you’re on municipal water in downtown Colorado Springs, you can easily access annual water quality reports. The city tests the water regularly and treats it to meet safety standards; but when you have a private well, the testing responsibility is all yours.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recommends testing your well annually for bacteria, nitrates, and pH, with more comprehensive testing every few years.
When you switch to home bottled water delivery from Clearly Colorado, that testing burden vanishes. Our Rocky Mountain water undergoes rigorous purification and quality control processes. We handle all the testing, treatment, and monitoring, so you don’t have to worry about what’s coming out of your glass.
Well Water Treatment Systems Require Significant Maintenance
Maybe you’ve already recognized the potential issues with your well water and installed a home treatment system. That’s a step in the right direction, but home treatment comes with its own set of challenges.
Water treatment systems require regular maintenance. Filters need replacing, UV bulbs burn out, and professional servicing is required. Miss a maintenance cycle, and you might not realize your water quality has deteriorated until it’s too late.
Reverse osmosis systems are popular where hard water is common and are excellent at removing contaminants, but their filters can become breeding grounds for bacteria if not changed regularly. Whereas, water softeners that deal with mineral-heavy water need constant salt refills and periodic cleaning.
If you make the switch to home bottled water delivery, maintenance worries disappear. No filters to change, no salt to add, and no systems to troubleshoot. Clearly Colorado delivers clean, purified Rocky Mountain water directly to your door on a schedule that works for you.
Well Water Quality Can Change Suddenly and Without Warning
Even if your well has provided clean water for years, conditions can change rapidly. Weather events, like flash floods, can introduce contaminants into your well.
Construction and development in growing areas like Banning Lewis Ranch can alter groundwater flow patterns. Even changes on your own property, like adding fertilizer to your garden or servicing your septic tank, can temporarily affect your water quality as well.
After the Waldo Canyon fire in 2012,
for many well owners in the surrounding areas. Some wells that had provided pristine water for decades suddenly showed contamination from ash and fire retardants.
Making the switch to home bottled water delivery protects you from unexpected water quality changes.
Pure Rocky Mountain Water Simply Tastes Better
Even if your well water is safe to drink, that doesn’t mean it’s pleasant to drink.
Many well owners in areas like Gleneagle or Black Forest notice their water has distinctive mineral flavors, sometimes described as metallic, earthy, or sulfurous.
Others report problems with hardness that affect everything from how their coffee tastes to how their skin feels after showering. While these minerals aren’t necessarily harmful, they can make your water less enjoyable to drink. When water doesn’t taste good, you’re less likely to drink enough of it, affecting your overall hydration and health.
