For decades, the Charles Allen Water Treatment Plant has provided clean, safe drinking water for people living and working in Englewood. The plant receives water from City Ditch and the Union Avenue Pump Station along the South Platte River, where the water undergoes a multi-step cleaning process to meet federal and state drinking water standards.

The plant has the capacity to treat up to 14 million gallons of water per day using a conventional treatment process consisting of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and chemical and ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection. Licensed water treatment operators oversee operations and water quality testing around the clock.
