Eldorado Springs LID Wastewater Treatment Plant, Boulder County, Colorado

Eldorado Springs LID is a planned wastewater treatment facility located in Boulder County, Colorado, United States. Designed to serve a small population of 300, the plant is projected to provide advanced treatment for the local community. The plant will employ advanced treatment processes, meeting high standards for effluent quality. With a designed capacity of 98.42 volume units, it is sized appropriately for the small population served. As a US facility, it will operate under the Clean Water Act, with permits issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The treated effluent will be discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the South Platte River basin. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for the Front Range urban corridor. The advanced treatment ensures minimal environmental impact on the receiving waters.

The plant discharges into the South Platte River basin, which flows through Colorado and Nebraska before joining the Platte River. The watershed supports a variety of fish species and provides water for agriculture and municipalities downstream. The advanced treatment level helps protect water quality in this semi-arid region.
