RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Resolution
BACKGROUND
Through its Sewer Enterprise, the City of Pueblo operates the James R. DiIorio Water
Reclamation Facility under a discharge permit issued by the State of Colorado to treat
wastewater generated within the community. The discharge permit contains numeric
limits for specific chemicals that can be discharged in the effluent from the treatment
facility, and contains compliance schedules requiring that specific actions be
accomplished by specific dates. In 2010 the Colorado Department of Health and
Environment issued a new discharge permit to Pueblo containing effluent limits for
ammonia that the existing treatment facility cannot attain reliably. Maintaining
compliance will require constructing new treatment facilities. The permit requires that
construction of ammonia removal facilities begin by the end of 2010.
In addition, bid alternative 2, a project converting the existing gaseous chlorine
disinfection process to disinfection via ultraviolet radiation, is to be constructed.
The City of Pueblo applied for and received a State Revolving Fund loan in an amount
of $23,595,277, at an interest rate of 2.5 percent. This loan amount will cover
engineering and construction costs of both the ammonia removal facilities and the
ultraviolet disinfection facilities.
