Denver water quality: then

Settlers who braved the long trek across the Rocky Mountains sought refuge on the shores of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek at Denver. Like the Native Americans who lived along the riverbanks, residents today can still trace Denver tap water to these bodies of water. Early sources of Denver drinking water came from surface wells and buckets, but soon gave way to more sophisticated water systems. Completed in 1867, City Ditch became the city’s first water system and turned Denver’s dusty plains into a thriving city. Denver also stands out as the first major US city to filtrate its water in 1884 (using a system of wood stave pipes) as well as the first to treat its water with chlorine, starting in 1911.

The Dust Bowl proved that water storage across the Midwest was just as vital as water management. Completed during one of the worst droughts in U.S. history, Eleven Mile Canyon Dam was the largest dam in the Denver system, and the Moffat Water Tunnel Diversion Project brought water across the continental divide.

The Cheesman Reservoir, completed in 1905, ended Denver’s reliance on in-town storage, wells, and streamflow. Standing tall at 221 feet high, Cheesman was the world’s tallest reservoir in its day. Later, The Williams Fork Reservoir carried Denver into the future after its expansion into a hydroelectric generating plant, still in operation today.
