Evergreen Wastewater Treatment Plant: 50 years of weather and going strong!

The Evergreen Metropolitan District Wastewater Treatment Plant in Evergreen Colorado was awarded a 50-year Institutional Length-of-Service Award for 50 years of continued dedicated service to the National Weather Service as part of the Cooperative Observer Program. The wastewater treatment plant has been diligently collecting daily observations of weather conditions that include maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation, snowfall, and snow depth. The data are reported back to the NWS and are used in our daily forecasts as well as being archived as part of the climatological record.
