The Greatrock North Water and Sanitation District retained our team to address its aging and failing reverse osmosis water treatment plant. The existing plant designed and built by the original developer had a capacity of 100 gpm and could not keep up with the desired capacity or the district’s water quality targets.
The Edgemont Ranch Metropolitan District was issued new, strict TIN, TN and TP limits that rendered their lagoon obsolete. As a remedy, the district looked to the BIOCOS technology, a hybrid activated sludge system to deliver more thorough treatment, consisting of two aeration tanks hydraulically connected to an alternating pair of sludge recycling and settling tanks.

Our team was retained by the town to assess, plan, fund, design, bid and provide construction administration for a system-wide collection system improvement project.

Our team was tasked with creating a long-term financially sustainable solution for the district that didn’t break the bank.
Our team worked with a local utility company, Delta Montrose Electric Association (DMEA) to design 10 kW grid connected PV systems for several local schools. In addition to providing modest energy offset, these solar electric systems serve as educational and demonstration systems at five high schools located in Delta and Montrose counties.
