The original plant, located on Bureau of Reclamation property, is capable of delivering
16 MGD of treated water. The treatment process consists of mechanical micro-
strainers, alum flocculent, settling basin and mixed media filter beds.

The new water treatment plant built in 1994-95, is a "packaged" filter plant rated at 10
MGD and has the ability to expand to 30 MGD with additional filter beds. The new
plant draws its water from the outlet works of the St. Vrain Supply Canal for Northern
Colorado Water Conservancy District's Carter Lake to Broomfield pipeline.
