JVA

JVA also serves as town engineer for some smaller municipalities such as Idaho Springs, Colo. The town is tucked into a canyon along Interstate 70, where space is a premium, so when Idaho Springs needed to expand its wastewater treatment plant, JVA had to get creative. The result is an activated granular-sludge treatment process-the first of its kind in Colorado and only the third in the country. JVA worked with the state to get the new technology approved, and construction should wrap up by the end of the year.
