CSU celebrated in April 2016 the commissioning of the $125MM E.W. Bailey WTP, as part of the $1.45B Southern Delivery System (SDS) water delivery project that will meet regional needs through 2040. The SDS delivers Arkansas River water, stored in the Pueblo Reservoir, to nearly half a million people in Colorado Springs, West Metropolitan District, City of Fountain, and Security Water District
“The water treatment industry is increasingly utilizing biological filtration,” said Tim Baumgartner, Orthos Head Engineer. “Our nozzle-based underdrains allow for cost-cutting, higher filtration rates while providing reliability and resiliency unmatched by block or folded-plate designs. We look forward to being a significant part of the advancement of water treatment.”
