27 Locally designated historic landmarks in the City of Littleton.

The landmarks have been designated over a period of years, with the earliest designations occurring in
1973 (for the Denver/Rio Grande Depot, the Santa Fe Depot, the Carnegie Library, and Town Hall), and
the most recent in 2016 (for the Quinney Residence). The locally designated historic landmarks range from
historic homes (such as the Saar Residence, Kuehn Residence, and Bertolett Residence, among others) to commercial
buildings (such as First National Bank and the Batschelet Building, among others), public buildings (such as the Arapahoe
County Courthouse), churches (First Presbyterian Church), and rail
depots.

ENVIRONMENT

Air and water quality, and the integrity of natural resources and Littleton’s open space endowment, are called out as
community values in the 2018 Envision Report. However, during the vision phase, the consultant team was surprised that
environmental issues were not touched on more often by residents. Perhaps protection of natural resources is assumed to
be a basic and ongoing priority, but it will be important to gauge the relative urgency of environmental matters through the
Comprehensive Plan process.

Safe Water Conclusion of the newest annual Drinking Water Quality Report

(May 2018) from Denver Water, the source of Littleton’s drinking
water.
Based on exhaustive testing, no regulated contaminants exceed limits established by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment when the water leaves the treatment plant, is in
the water distribution system, or reaches the customer’s tap.
