75% of water that Colorado Springs gets comes from Leadville, Breckenridge, and Aspen. Pipes transfer the water from those areas to Colorado Spgs. The other 25% comes from surface water sources and ground water sources that are close to COS. It takes about 200 miles for the water to get to COS. The water is very pure because it comes from the snow and the snow is a very pure water source.
Manitou Springs gets its water from the snow melt up in the Rocky Mountains/Pikes Peak. The water travels through many rivers and streams. On it's way to MS it picks up many minerals harmful and helpful.
