Red Cliff treatment plant set for construction

RED CLIFF, Colorado – Red Cliff is aiming to begin construction on a new wastewater treatment plan by the end of next month.

The town has been awarded $2 million in federal stimulus funds for the $5.6 million project.

The existing plant should have been replaced some 25 years ago, said Mayor Ramon Montoya.



“This has been a five-year process in the making,” Montoya said. “It’s great that we’re going to, per our guidelines, begin construction prior to Sept. 30.”

The bidding process to find a builder has begun.
