A public hearing will be conducted to inform citizens and solicit public input, written or oral, regarding the Project Needs Assessment (PNA) for the City of Lamar (City) Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Expansion.

The PNA is a report detailing the project as proposed, including project necessity, alternatives, and components. The PNA also describes how the project is being funded. The report has been submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to qualify the City for a State Revolving Fund Loan.

The WWTP expansion project involves upgrading the secondary treatment at the WWTP from lagoons to a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process and expanding the WWTP to a maximum month average daily flow (MMADF) and peak hour flow of 2.5 and 5.2 million gallons per day (MGD), respectively. New influent pumps, headworks, grit removal, odor control, UV disinfection, aerobic digesters and mechanical dewatering are also proposed. This project will allow the City to meet the new surface water discharge limits, increase treatment capacity, while accommodating reasonable growth over the 20-year planning period. The estimated total cost of the project is $60M.

Copies of the PNA are available for public review prior to the Public Hearing at the following location:
