Meurer & Associates prepared a feasibility study for the American Golf Corporation to reinstate a reuse irrigation system to irrigate the Arrowhead Golf Course, located in Littleton, Colorado Treated effluent from Roxborough Metropolitan District’s wastewater treatment plant would be conveyed from the plant and stored at the golf course, then used as irrigation water. The irrigation system’s components would include the retrofit of an existing pump station, water treatment facilities, piping, a booster pump station, a transfer station, and storage ponds.

Utilizing reusable Windy Gap water for its potable water source will enable this 1,500-acre development in Weld County, Colorado, to capture treated effluent for irrigation of up to 4,000 residential lots plus 90 acres of commercial area, HOA tracts and schools. The irrigation system, which is separate from the domestic water system, will be comprised of a 4,000 gpm irrigation pump station drawing water from the development’s recreational ponds, PRV vaults to serve varying pressure zones and miles of irrigation piping. The ponds will be supplied water by alluvial wells pumping out of the St. Vrain River.

Castle Pines North Metropolitan District
Reuse Water Line and Pump Station
Castle Pines, Colorado

A non-potable water irrigation system was installed providing treated effluent to the Ridge Golf Course. Meurer & Associates coordinated and designed this project to utilize reuse water in order to free up available well water for domestic use. In a cooperative effort between Castle Pines North, Plum Creek Wastewater Authority, and the Country Club at Castle Pines, a combined operations plan was developed allowing all three entities to upgrade and improve their systems. Castle Pines North was able to share a pump vault with the Country Club in an agreement that provided the Country Club with emergency water form Castle Pines North well station. The treated effluent is pumped from Plum Creek Wastewater Authority 14,000 feet to a reservoir shared by Castle Pines North and the Country Club. A high-volume, low-head pump transfers 505 gpm reuse water from the reservoir to the Ridge Golf Course irrigation pond.

East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District
Irrigation Water Line
Centennial, Colorado

This unique approach encompassed the planning, design, and construction of a separate irrigation water system. The new water source is from residential irrigation lawn watering that infiltrates into the ground and is collected and used to irrigate neighborhood parks, schools, and HOA tracts in East Cherry Creek Valley’s Piney Creek Basin. The new irrigation system consists of three alluvial wells, a cholorination/electric building, a 2.4 mg post tensioned storage reservoir and 2,160 feet of 30-inch, 5,000 feet of 24-inch, 2,700 feet of 20-inch and 11,200 feet of 16-inch DIP. Having the new irrigation system in place provides the District with an efficient, cost effective, and sustainable source.
