Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 awarded a $1.6 million Cooperative Agreement to the Town of Superior on May 6, 2026, to implement drinking water infrastructure improvements under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), as directed in the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act.

The Town of Superior will execute a construction workplan centered on water treatment plant improvements, specifically upgraded residual handling systems. The project targets reduced residual disposal hauling trips, lower greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions, decreased metals discharges to the environment, and improved control of technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material through capture and dewatering of residuals. Water recovered from residuals processing will be recycled for reuse in lieu of disposal transport, with anticipated annual water savings of approximately two million gallons. The project includes no sub-recipients.

Performance runs from May 6, 2026, through May 5, 2028, with work performed in Superior, Colorado 80027. The intended beneficiaries are residents of the Town of Superior.

This agreement provides funding to the town of superior to implement its project to water treatment plant project (upgrades) as directed in the 2023 consolidated appropriations act or as identified in an approved technical correction if one has been approved for this project. Activities:the activities to be performed include the execution and implementation of a drinking water infrastructure construction workplan activities consist of: water treatment plant improvements. Subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:the anticipated deliverables include upgraded residual handling at the treatment plant. The expected outcomes include: -lower greenhouse gas and other air pollutant emissions due to fewer residual disposal hauling trips, -lower metals discharges to the environment (due to the decreased potential to overload the residuals handling system) -better control of any tenorm (technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material) due to ability to capture and dewater residuals. -more efficient use of the town's existing water rights. Water removed from the residuals will be recycled for use in lieu of being transported for disposal with the residuals. This is anticipated to save the town a couple of million gallons of water per year. The intended beneficiaries include residents of the town of superior.
