The Town of Superior announced a granular activated carbon filtration (GAC) system has been successfully installed, filtering water from the town’s treatment facility.
After ash and debris from the Marshall Fire last year polluted the water and banks of the reservoir, residents complained about their water quality, specifically odor and taste.
Although the Public Works and Utilities department began a cleanup of the banks in early January, and the water was tested and deemed safe to drink by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and Boulder County Public Health, the water supply was compromised, said Public Works and Utilities Director Alex Ariniello.
