<br />41 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />the upper Poudre to the pl~nt by a canal. Today water comes <br />from the plant in upper Poudre Canyon built in 1904 and <br />Horsetooth Reservoir. <br />Four sewage treatment facilities are also located <br />along the river. The North College Sanitation District <br />owned the abandoned plant located on the east side of <br />the river across from the Dower plant. This facility was <br />independent of the City of Ft. Collins serving familiesc <br />outside the city limits. Uowever, the plant is now <br />closed and its customers a~e served by the city plants. <br />Sewage plant #1 for Fort Collins is located west <br />of the river just north of Highway 14. This plant was <br />built in 1948, with a capacity of one-half million gallons <br />a day. It has been expanded to a capacity of four and <br />one-half million gallons a day. The demand on it now <br />greatly exceeds this and it is planned to enlarge the <br />facility to a six million gallon capacity. This plant <br />treats sewage on a secondary level with activated sludge. <br />The new sewage plant, located at Drake Road, was <br />built in 1966. This plant is presently being enlarged to <br />process 18 million gallons per day. It also treats sewage <br />to a secondary level. <br />Secondary treatment returns liquid to the Poudre which <br />is acceptable to maintain a class B stream. Class B <br />streams are capable of maintaing warm water fish. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
