Gold: City of Rifle Regional Wastewater Reclamation FacilitySubmitted by Stanek Constructors Inc. The city of Rifle serves as the gateway to western Colorado’s energy reserves. As such, the city has seen a tremendous impact from this sector in the form of increased permanent residents, transient workers and commercial-service demands. This influx also coincided with more stringent regulations on the Colorado River. To meet these challenges, the city needed to construct a new wastewater treatment facility.
The Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility project constructed a new 2.0-MGD wastewater treatment facility with the ability to expand to a 4.0-MGD plant.
