An attempt has been made <br />to indicate those constituents of concern by italicizing the constituents which <br />presently exceed the PHS drinking water standards. While it is premature to <br />attempt to rank these communities in terms of the severity of their water prob- <br />lem, it is apparent that the communities of Brighton, Ft. Morgan, and Las An- <br />imas presently exceed PHS drinking water standards in most categories. It is <br />of equal interest to note that every community shares in common the additional <br />problem of a high sulfate content in the water supply. The community of Las <br />Animas apparently has an excessive amount of flourides in its supply, while <br />Brighton appears to have an excess of nitrates. Both Las Animas and Ft. Morgan <br />have experienced selenium concentrations greater than the rejection limits. <br /> <br />20 <br />
