More time needed for project
By Ashley Dieterle
Residents in the Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District living near Cottonwood Park can expect construction on the raw water delivery system to continue until the middle of December.
Originally the project was set to be complete during the spring of 2009, butit has been thoroughly extended.
The raw water delivery system is part of the Joint Water Purification Plant, a cooperative venture between the Arapaho County Water and Wastewater Authority and the Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District. Plant will eventually serve 12,00 residents and over 30,000 employees in the area. The new plant is located on land on the west side of Jordan Road and Broncos Parkway.
The completed project will increase the use of surface water from Cherry Creek by treating reused water with reverse osmosis, a very complicated process according to project manager Scott Barnett.
“A lot of different disciplines have to go into the whole project which requires a lot of time,” he said. “It is not a simple process, but when it is complete it will be well worth it.”
Barnett said he is aware that the construction in the Cottonwood Park area can be distracting, but the crew is doing their best to make the area perfect, with no evidence of construction being left after completion.
“This is just a process we have to go through and I know it seems like it is taking a log time, but the end result will be a good one.”
