Description
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are detectable almost everywhere in trace amounts. However, uncertainty surrounding their effects on people and the environment makes it difficult for drinking water utilities to incorporate them into water quality protection planning. Denver Water is a drinking water utility that serves ~1.4 million people in the Denver Metro area. Through this project, the team and client sought to understand the threat CECs may pose to drinking water quality in their collection system.
