Aurora: Prairie Waters dedication recap
October 16, 2010
From the Aurora Sentinel:
Hundreds of people attended the Prairie Waters Project opening celebration last week at the Peter Binney Water Purification Facility near the Aurora Reservoir…
It is expected to increase Aurora’s water supply by 20 percent and deliver up to 10,000 acre-feet of water per year…
“Water projects in the arid west don’t just happen,” said Mark Pifher, director of the city’s water department, at the celebration. “They require the natural resource itself — the water, many permit approvals, technological means to capture that water, to treat it and distribute it, and perhaps most importantly … projects of this nature need the political will to bring them forward from design to fruition. This project possessed all of those attributes.”
