Wastewater Clarifier

The City of Fruita owns and maintains an extensive wastewater system that serves over 4,700 customers every day.  This system consists of two main divisions that are responsible for collecting and treating wastewater that is safely returned to the environment.

The City of Fruita maintains a growing collections system consisting of over 70 miles of sewer lines and eight sewer pump stations. This program includes a robust cleaning and inspection program that help prevent more costly maintenance operations and reduces the amount of sewer backups.

Wastewater Treatment

The City of Fruita operates and maintains a 2.3 million gallon a day, state of the art Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) Wastewater Facility located just off 15 Road in Fruita. This facility currently treats just under 1.0 million gallons per day and is designed to accommodate the wastewater needs of the community for years to come.

Biosolids

These nutrient-rich biosolids have been carefully treated and monitored to meet all heavy metal, pathogen reduction, and vector attraction requirements of the health department.  Of course, this usually only excites those in the industry.
