EPA WIFIA Loan Drives “Courageous” Plan for a New Wastewater Treatment Facility

On a nearly perfect fall morning, I stood in an empty field looking west at the towering mountains that surround Estes Park. My companions and tour guides, Chris and Matt are excitedly telling me about the new wastewater treatment facility that will be filling this open space. The nine-acre parcel located on the east end of Estes Park, and just across the street from Upper Thompson Sanitation’s existing wastewater treatment facility is prime creek side property, that soon will be filled with construction equipment and the sounds of forward progress.
