During the past five years, the Denver Water Recycling Plant has made changes to its operations to reduce operating costs and improve the quality of its recycled water.
By making these treatment changes, Denver Water also reduced sodium, chloride and sulfate levels in recycled water, which is better for trees and other vegetation. The changes also make the plant more efficient and ensure our customers receive a consistent quality of water.
Metro Wastewater, which treats the water before Denver Water’s Recycling Plant receives it, also plans to make treatment upgrades in the next few years. Those upgrades are expected to help Denver Water reduce chemical dosages required for treatment, cut costs associated with treatment and provide improved-water quality to customers.
Tour groups are always welcome at Denver Water’s Recycling plant. If you would like to see the plant in action, please contact Abigail Holmquist to schedule a tour.
