Welcome to Northwater Treatment Plant (NTP), Denver Water's newest drinking water facility!  NTP has a capacity of 75 million gallons per day, and this fun tour will include opportunities to see some of the technology used to treat our source water from Ralston Reservoir.  The tour itself will be led by some of our treatment staff members that work every day to monitor and adjust the process to ensure high-quality water reaches our customers.  And we may get a fantastic view of Denver's skyline and some of the awesome wildlife that calls the overall Ralston site home!
