Details |
In 1952, Coors opened the first modem waste treatment plant in Colorado. At the time, all other waste treatment facilities in Colorado, and most across American, released raw or only partially treated sewage into rivers, streams and lakes as accepted practice. Coors designed, built and operated the new facility to treat brewery waste and municipal waste from the city of Golden. Coors new plant improved on traditional treatment that only removed solids from wastewater by adding biological treatment and chlorination. Coors continues to operate the facility, which has been upgraded numerous times during the past 60 years. Finally available in every state in the U.S. in 1991. |
