Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Toxicology
  • Water Reuse

Background:

  • Denver's Potable Water Reuse Demonstration Project aims to assess reclaimed water safety.
  • Current drinking water in Denver is of high quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the relative health effects of highly treated reclaimed wastewater versus Denver's drinking water.
  • To establish the relative quality of reclaimed water against health standards and existing drinking water.

Main Methods:

  • A 1 million gallon per day demonstration plant treats wastewater using multiple advanced processes.
  • Processes include lime clarification, filtration, UV irradiation, activated carbon, reverse osmosis/ultrafiltration, ozonation, and chloramination.
  • Toxicology studies involve chronic toxicity, oncogenicity, and reproductive/teratology tests in rodents.

Main Results:

  • Toxicology results will be correlated with microbiological, chemical, and physical water quality data.
  • Comparison will be made against established health standards and Denver's current drinking water quality.

Conclusions:

  • The study will provide comprehensive health effect data for potable water reuse.
  • Findings will inform the safety and quality assessment of reclaimed water for public consumption.
