Xylem Inc. (XYL - Free Report) has been selected for the prestigious PureWater Colorado Demonstration Project for establishing direct portable reuse (DPR) in the state.

Colorado-based municipal water supplier, Denver Water, renowned environmental engineering company,Carollo Engineers, and WateReuse Colorado have joined forces for this project. Xylem has been picked for offering its non-imitable water technology solutions, including its Leopold granulated activated carbon filter pilot and Wedeco MiPRO advanced oxidation process pilot (AOP) system, for the program.

Water reuse is part of Colorado’s existing Water Plan. It is aimed at reducing the amount of water sidetracked from streams and rivers. Hence, the program intends to promote reliable, sustainable and secured drinking water in Colorado. Some portion of water produced under this program will be used to brew beer. This will aid in raising understanding and awareness among community leaders and local population about the value of DPR.

The PureWater Demonstration Project is located in the Denver Water Recycling Plant and its execution starts this April.
