Purple Pipe Update

Reusable water, including the purple pipe distribution system, is a priority project for the Board of Trustees 2023 strategic plan. The Town of Bennett is currently working on extending the purple pipeline in Town to the new Muegge Farms subdivision behind King Soopers. There is approximately four miles of purple pipe that runs from the wastewater treatment facility reuse pond to just north of Town Hall.

Currently, reuse water in Town is being used for construction projects. In the spring of 2024, the Town will begin using reuse water for irrigation in Town Parks.

A portion of the funding for the installation of purple pipe comes from Adams County Open Space Grants.
