Metro Water Recovery is a wastewater treatment authority serving much of metropolitan Denver and parts of northern Colorado, delivering conveyance and treatment services to about 2.2 million residents and workers within an 817-square-mile service area. Based in Denver, Colorado, it operates within the air, water, and waste program management sector and aims to protect the environment and meet community needs. The utility handles roughly 130 million gallons of wastewater daily, achieving removal of more than 95 percent of pollutants before discharging to the South Platte River. Its treated effluent is suitable for uses including agriculture, aquatic life, industrial applications, water supply, and recreation, aligning with its mission to protect regional health and the environment by cleaning water and recovering resources. The organization has earned industry recognition, including a Platinum Peak Performance Award for five consecutive years of permit compliance at its Robert W. Hite Treatment Facility in Denver, and has participated in national utility leadership and clean water awards programs. A recent development is the 2025 introduction of Fin, an orange-spotted sunfish mascot designed to educate youth about Metro Water Recovery's work and mission.
