why do we have a water recycling plant?


 * the lack of water in east Colorado
 * there are icky things in the water such as phosphates
 * we need Clean water

As part of our action plan we visited the Denver Water Recycling Plant. The plant recycles wastewater so it can be used to irrigate parks, golf courses, schools, and the Zoo. It treats and delivers 45 million gallons of water per day. THAT’S A LOT!!! This frees up enough water in our reservoirs to serve 35,000 households annually.
