Providing for Aurora
Faced with population growth and frequent droughts, the City of Aurora, Colorado, sought to improve its water reliability by tapping into a new source, the South Platte River. The resulting Prairie Waters Project features alluvial well fields, an aquifer treatment basin, more than 30 mi of conveyance pipeline, and a new, 50 mgd drinking water treatment facility. Completed in under six years, the roughly $660-million project ensures that Aurora will enjoy adequate supplies of high-quality water for decades to come.
