Is the City of Cheyenne water supply affected?
The City of Cheyenne gets some of its water supply from wells near the TCE plume area. Water production wells in the Borie Well Field are connected to a pipeline that transports the water to a central treatment plant. At the treatment plant water is treated to remove all contaminants that may be present (including TCE). Water leaving the treatment plant is tested and meets all requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Some of the Cities production wells have detected elevated concentrations of TCE at the well head, however, the water gets treated prior to being distributed to the public.
