WHAT'S NEXT?
New Water Quality Laboratory Coming Summer 2020.
The City currently has two water quality labs that are State Certified by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). The Wastewater Treatment Plant Lab (1,170 square feet) was constructed in 1974, and the Water Treatment Plant Lab (125 square feet) was constructed in 1981. The proposed project would construct an 8,000 square foot laboratory building on the grounds of the wastewater treatment plant and will serve the functions of both water and wastewater laboratory needs.
