In 1995, the Soldier Canyon Filter Plant in Fort Collins, Colorado, joined the Partnership for Safe Drinking Water program and was only the 16th facility in the nation to receive the Director's Certificate of Recognition from the US Environmental Protection Agency. However, optimization of the treatment plant has been an on-going process since 1989. At that time, the need to improve the plant's performance was recognized by the staff and the administrators. The optimization has involved the construction of improvements to the plant, upgrading of the plant staff, changes in the plant management structure, and changes in the attitude and philosophy of the administrators and staff. This paper documents those changes and attempts to show the improvements that have been achieved.
