Project Description

Wellhead treatment for groundwater sources with elevated radionuclides (Gross Alpha, Uranium). Project components include studies to determine treatment methods available and specific to systems with no access to sanitary sewer for reject waste streams, cost/benefit analysis of methodologies, cost analysis of operation/maintenance of systems and capital construction costs. Could include research of new treatment methodologies to meet challenges associated with rural areas (low overall production, lack of sanitary sewer for reject water (brine) disposal).

    Project Objective
  • 07: Support to DACs
  • 10: Preserve water quality
  • 14: Increase use of recycled water
Project Funding Area

Colorado

Project Description

The District’s Wastewater Reclamation Project has been determined to be the most viable method of ensuring the Town’s compliance with the Regional Board’s adoption of the septic tank discharge Prohibition. The project will provide centralized treatment of wastewater generated within the Town at a level consistent with that of the local discharge requirements of both the Regional Board and the CDPH. Wastewater will be collected and conveyed through a series of pipelines that make up the WRP’s collection system. Once delivered to the treatment facility, the treated wastewater will be discharged into the East Hydrogeologic Subunit of the Warren Subbasin providing a future source of extractable groundwater.
