Water Reuse:
Reclamation Projects Protect
Environmental Resources
While the goal of “reducing the carbon footprint” often focuses
on renewable energy and minimizing the use of fossil fuels in
powering buildings and industries, conserving water is one of the
most valuable strategies moving forward today. Public and private
entities are both showcasing new approaches, and, in many cases,
teaming up to protect our water supply.
As early as 1985, Colorado’s Parker Water & Sanitation District
(PWSD) projected a long-term water shortage for its growing
community. PWSD, which serves the town of Parker and
Douglas County in the southeastern corner of the Denver
Metropolitan Area, began to implement immediate remedies,
such as metering, educating residents about drought-resistant
xeriscapes, and reusing wastewater for irrigation. The district
recognized the need for a long-term solution, however,
and soon embarked on an ambitious plan that included
development of the 72,000-acre-feet Rueter-Hess Reservoir and
the new 10-MGD Rueter-Hess Water Treatment Plant. Designed
by Dewberry, the plant is now under construction.
Surface Water: A Sustainable Resource
Located at the base of the reservoir, PWSD’s new water treatment
plant will treat surface water—a more sustainable source than the
diminishing local groundwater—as well as reclaimed wastewater
effluent. The treatment system has been designed to remove a
high percentage of dissolved organic compounds (DOCs) from
the raw water to meet standards for drinking water. The unique
process consists of enhanced coagulation using ferric chloride,
powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption, and ceramic
membrane filtration—the first application of ceramic membranes
for municipal drinking water in the United States.
