The current facility was constructed in 1964, though many improvements have been made to meet more stringent effluent restrictions.  Current permitted capacity is 1.5 millions gallons per day. The plant operates at approximately 50 - 55 percent capacity during the peak summer season.  Wastewater passes through a series of basins that modify air levels and create environments to encourage desirable biological activities.  Recycling a portion of the flow continuously enables the process to repeat and achieve further reductions. Finally the effluent is "polished" with DAF filtration and UV disinfection before being discharged to the Big Thompson River.

The collection system of the District consists of approximately 29 miles of sewer main and 785 manholes. Sewer main upgrades are budgeted annually with the goal of improving our service levels. Replacing older undersized clay lines decreases the possibility of backups and reduces infiltration. Today 80 percent of our collection system is PVC, ductile or HDPHE pipe. We are very proud of the improvements we've made to reach those levels. Pictured is a pipe bursting project pushing new HDPHE pipe through an old clay line.

Collection and treatment of wastewater is an important part of protecting the public health of our community. User fees and service fees is how the District is funded. We do not levy a property tax mill. These Rules and Regulations set forth terms and conditions for Estes Park Sanitation District's management of sewer service relative to the non-payment of user, service and/ or tap fees. These regulations were adopted in accordance with the statutes of the State of Colorado.
