Water Quality
Drinking Water Taste and Odor Complaints
Taste and odor issues are more common during hot, dry summers when algae growth increases in lakes and reservoirs. If you notice an earthy taste or smell, chill your water, use a carbon filter, or add lemon, cucumber, or mint.

Meeting Standards, Surpassing Expectations
Greeley’s drinking water meets all state and federal drinking water standards.
Greeley’s drinking water starts as pure Rocky Mountain snowmelt, and the Water Department uses the latest technologies to improve our water quality further. Greeley treats our water to high standards and regularly tests for a long list of potential contaminants to guarantee that we provide safe, clean, and great-tasting water.
At our water treatment plants, we conduct the following:
- Daily, weekly, and monthly water testing
- Yearly reporting - We publish a new Drinking Water Quality Report (see below) with the previous year's data each June.
In addition to the drinking water that we deliver, we also monitor the following:
- Cross-Connections
- Wastewater Treatment
- Polyfluoroalkyl substances—otherwise known as PFAS
- Stormwater - this is a function of the Public Works Department
