They must keep pace with rapidly <br />advancing technology, meet market pressures, as well as comply with various government <br />regulations in a constantly changing political and economic environment. The Coors <br />Ceramics Company, originally founded in 1910 as the Herold China and Pottery <br />Company, initially manufactured cookware. Historically, Coors Ceramic Company has <br />demonstrated tremendous versatility and flexibility by successfully adapting to challenges <br />of the day. Decades later, it continues production with a line of state of the art ceramic <br />products used in science and industry. As technology has advanced and the need to create <br />new products has been met, important changes to the company's infrastructure itself have <br />not kept up with the times. Preliminary evaluation indicates great potential for water <br />conservation and water reuse in this historic facility. <br /> <br />Based on data collected by the Coors Ceramics Environmental and Engineering staffs and <br />information gathered through the City's Pretreatment Program, it is believed that changes <br />in production practices could achieve a reduction in overall water use. Coors Ceramics <br />has identified some areas where improved efficiency and potential water reuse could be <br />applied. How, where and what changes need to be made can be determined through a <br />water use audit and a waste water minimization study. The City of Golden's application <br />is for $4,800 in grant money which would be used to hire a water conservation consultant <br />for this purpose. <br />
