Water Reuse and Nonpotable Systems

The City of Englewood presently has few options for using recycled wastewater from treatment
facilities because of its location on the South Platte and its return flow obligations for its water
rights. The largest irrigator in the area, the City uses the non-potable water released from the
plant for inigating the turf around the treatment plant As the Platte Valley continues to
redevelop the City staff will continue to explore new sources for water reuse

The City does, however, provide water for the City Ditch which is used to irrigate Washington
Park; City Park, and Denver Country Club. The City Ditch water is also used to irrigate
cemeteries, arboretums and botanical gardens.
