Trash Pumps, HDPE Pipe and Water Filtration Systems aid in Environmentally Sensitive Rocky Mountain Lake Dewatering

A large national beer brewer needed to increase their water storage capacity in an environmentally safe manner by completely draining their 800-acre-foot storage reservoir, excavating it by an additional 40 feet of depth and refilling the lake with Clear Creek's annual spring runoff.

As luck would have it, a popular hunting, fishing and outdoor outfitter was building a mega store nearby and needed to fill their 850-acre-foot lake at the same time.

Rain for Rent's Fort Lupton team designed, installed and operated a pumping system consisting of three DV-300i silenced Power Prime™ pumps, 6,700 feet of fused HDPE pipe, and multiple road crossings.  Rain for Rent's equipment pumped for 27 days.  The 800-acre-foot lake actually had 1,100-acre feet of water!

Once the outfitter's lake was filled to capacity, the excess water was filtered through a weir tank and two 48-4 sand media filters before being discharged into Clear Creek.  Water quality was carefully monitored.

When the excavated soil was transported to a nearby landfill located on the property, a groundwater problem developed that required additional pumping and filtration to maintain the company's high environmental standards.

Rain for Rent successfully provided a Complete Solution to multiple water pumping and filtration challenges.
