WHY IS A NORTHERN TREATMENT PLANT NEEDED?
To benefit the whole region by protecting health and natural resources, allowing communities to thrive.
- Communities in the northern metropolitan region need updated and expanded wastewater treatment
- Existing facilities will soon reach their capacity limits
- Projected opening date: 2015
- Benefits existing communities by eliminating 7 lift stations in 7 neighborhoods
- More cost-effective and efficient solution than complex improvements to existing facilities
- Protecting the South Platte River requires treating to more stringent standards
- A new facility in this area has been planned for more than 4 decades
