Lone Tree Brewing Co., Lost Highway Brewing Co. and 105 West Brewing Co., tomorrow will receive 330 gallons of direct potable reuse water produced by a mobile advanced water treatment plant in part designed by CH2M, a Colorado engineering firm, in conjunction with Pima County, Ariz., and other participating entities. Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department, will be driving the mobile plant to Denver for a special viewing at CH2M’s global headquarters.
“Direct potable reuse is a real solution for stressed water supplies and for future-proofing water resources for resilient cities,” said CH2M Reuse Technology Director Larry Schimmoller. “By applying this technology to something our state loves – local craft beer – we’re highlighting the positive impacts recycled water can have in communities, and helping build public support for similar initiatives.”
“On average, it takes 60 ounces of water to brew just 12-ounces of beer, something our customers probably don’t realize when they reach for that beer bottle. With water under increasing demand, we want to do our part to build a sustainable future, and that’s why we excitedly accepted this opportunity with CH2M,” said Tina Pachorek, CEO Lost Highway Brewing.
