We are committed to protecting the environment and providing for the community's future needs. We collect about 130 million gallons of wastewater per day from neighborhood sewer lines and remove more than 95 percent of the pollutants before discharging it into the South Platte River.

???Happy Women's History Month! The following was submitted by Payroll Specialist PattiJo Jeffers and we just had to share! "I want to recognize four incredible women who work in Administrative Services. These women define dedication and loyalty at Metro. Brenda Olivas (18 years of service), Carol Collins (25 years of service), Laura Cook (28 years of service) and Pam Dorton (31 years of service) have dedicated a combined 102 years to providing structure, stability, and support to our team. As someone who has been with Metro for a shorter time, I’ve already seen the incredible impact they make every day. Their knowledge, commitment and leadership have not only helped shape things but have also guided and inspired me as a newer employee. Thank you for your years of hard work and commitment – you make a difference every day!"

Flashback Friday! ?? For nearly 90 years the South Platte River was Denver's “open sewer.” Denver's population used it as a city dump and raw sewage was discharged directly into the river. ?? In 1961, Metropolitan Denver Sewage Disposal District No. 1. (now Metro Water Recovery) broke ground and the Robert W. Hite Treatment Facility became fully operational by 1966. This ended the "open sewer" era of the South Platte River.
