WateReuse Colorado will host its annual conference on May 5, 2025, at the CSU Spur Hydro building in Denver, a facility at the forefront of applied water reuse research and innovation. Opened in 2023, CSU Spur Hydro is a public education facility which houses research facilities including Denver Water’s water quality laboratory, a water technology accelerator, and a suite of onsite reuse systems. The building actively implements graywater and stormwater reuse: graywater from sinks and showers is treated and reused for toilet flushing, while stormwater is diverted from the campus system for irrigation and testing via the Water Technology Acceleration Platform (Water TAP). Water TAP supports applied research by collecting water from the South Platte River and recycled water, processing flows of approximately 1,000 gallons per day through advanced treatment processes, including membrane filtration, ultrafiltration, biological treatment, UV disinfection, and microbial treatment. These integrated systems allow for real-world testing of reuse technologies. With its emphasis on applied research and water reuse implementation, CSU Spur Hydro offers an ideal backdrop for this year’s theme: “Implementing Reuse: Opportunities, Challenges, and Innovation.” |
