Security-Widefield Colorado is a large unincorporated community south of Colorado Springs adjacent to Peterson Space Force Base and Fort Carson. The community is at the center of the most significant PFAS drinking water contamination crisis in Colorado — firefighting foam chemicals from Peterson AFB contaminated wells serving Security-Widefield, Fountain, and Widefield with PFAS chemicals at levels far exceeding EPA health advisory limits. The contamination has affected tens of thousands of residents and required major drinking water infrastructure investment.
