This project added 6,500 sq ft to the laboratory and offices at the wastewater treatment plant in Broomfield, Colo. It also renovated the existing building.
The work is important to the environment because the lab tests wastewater that enters and leaves the plant. The water flows from there into Colorado’s Big Dry Creek, where it can affect the ecosystem. The new lab will help ensure clean water for people throughout Colorado.
