Flood Recovery

Fairways Metropolitan District, Boulder County, Colorado
September 2013 Flood Response

During the catastrophic flooding that took place in September 2013 the Fairways Metropolitan District WWTP was completely inundated with stormwater both from direct runoff and from inflow and infiltration. As the facility operates as a 100% re-use facility, and does not discharge to a receiving stream, the treatment basins were completely filled and could not treat the incoming wastewater stream. RGA worked with the WWTP operator and CDPHE to devise an emergency response plan to allow the WWTP to return  to normal operations. RGA also worked closely with FEMA to apply for funding for equipment and material to mitigate the effects of potential future funding. After two months of emergency work the WWTP was returned to normal operations.​
