Daily potable water deliveries and effluent discharge by Colorado Springs Utilities: 2008–22

September 16, 2024

This data release includes data provided by Colorado Springs Utilities to the U.S. Geological Survey. Two types of data are included here. First are daily average effluent discharge rates from the Las Vegas Street Wastewater Treatment Facility and JD Phillips Water Resource Recovery Facility along with the sum of rates on dates with available data. Second are daily total volumes of potable water delivered to customers as summed from multiple facilities. The data were released by Colorado Springs Utilities, which performed its own quality control checks on the data. The data span the years 2008 to 2022 but are not complete for all parameters for that time frame. The data provide context for understanding water use and water quality in the Fountain Creek watershed in Colorado.
