Description
The Denver Water Nonpotable Reuse Project is designed to reuse wastewatereffluent. Denver Water receives water from two primary sources, the South PlatteRiver Basin east of the Rocky Mountains and water imported from the western slopeof the Rocky Mountains. It is the water from the western slope that Denver Watermay legally reuse. Under the Blue River Decree, Denver Water must maximize reusewhere feasible in order to minimize or defer new imports. Since the late 1960s,Denver Water has been investigating methods of reusing treated wastewater.Between 1985 and 1991, Denver Water operated the Potable Reuse DemonstrationProject. Information from this research study established the relative safety ofreclaimed wastewater as a potable water supply. Potable reuse is one possiblealternative for satisfying Denver’s future water demands. The first step in thedevelopment of this Project was the identification and refinement of potentialreuse customers. This paper discusses Denver Water’s approach to customeridentification and water demand quantification for its Nonpotable Reuse Project. Includes 15 references, tables, figures.
