CRWA's Littleton Project is our first Smart Seweringwastewater demonstration project.

• Return treated wastewater effluent to the ground near where it was originally pumped as drinking water, restoring a natural water balance.
  
  
• Improve summertime flow in the local stream affected by drinking water withdrawal, and enhance water quality.
  
  
• Improve the local streams resilience in the event of drought.
  
  
• Allow for much greater density in two adjacent downtown commercial zoning districts which would:
  
  
  • Increase property taxes for commercial properties over time
  • Reduce vehicle miles traveled
  • Reduce pressure to develop greenfields
    
    
• Allow for the use of wastewater as a resource to produce electric energy.
  
  
• Collect tipping fees for commercial food waste and septage in order to spike methane and generate renewable energy.
  
  
• Reduce carbon dioxide and methane emissions from rotting commercial food waste by using it to generate energy.
