The new headworks building will continue making the wastewater treatment process more efficient by increasing the capabilities and capacity of the pre-treatment process. Improvements will include new screening and grit removal equipment and upgrades to the existing pump and electrical infrastructure. This effort will enable the future expansion of the facility to handle increased capacity demands.

Windsor’s Wastewater Treatment Facility has been operational since the 1990s and has consistently been able to meet or exceed all permit requirements and return clean, treated water back to the Cache la Poudre River. The headworks facility is the first step in the wastewater treatment process: removing trash and inorganic material, such as sand, grit, eggshells, etc. from the wastewater entering the facility.

    Construction for the new Wastewater Treatment Facility Headworks building is anticipated to start in the fall. Currently, town and project staff are finalizing final stages of design and contract review, then groundbreaking will commence.

    The new building construction serves as the initial processing stage where incoming wastewater is prepared for further treatment. It includes screening to remove large debris and grit removal to eliminate heavy particles that could damage equipment. The building will also feature systems for measuring wastewater flow and may involve the addition of chemicals to adjust pH levels or aid in contaminant removal. By handling these preliminary tasks, the headworks building ensures that the wastewater entering the main treatment processes is cleaner and more manageable, enhancing the overall efficiency of the treatment plant.
