The construction of Denver Water’s North System Renewal Project, including a new, state-of-the-art drinking water treatment plant and an 8.5-mile water pipeline, is expected to generate $405.1 million in direct and indirect economic benefits across the metro area.

“The North System Renewal Project is an investment in the future of Denver Water, our customers and the community. It will upgrade components of our system that have served our customers since the 1930s. Water connects us all in many ways, and we’re proud that our work will benefit our customers and community in Jefferson County and the Denver metro area,” said Bob Mahoney, Denver Water’s chief engineering officer.

Denver Water provides a clean, reliable drinking water supply to 1.4 million people in Denver and surrounding suburbs.

The project is a major piece of Denver Water’s five-year, $1.3 billion capital plan to ensure the organization has the necessary flexibility to deliver a reliable water supply as weather patterns become more uncertain and the population grows.
