Abstract

During the fifth (5th) and final year of the project, Identifying and Eliminating Illicit Connections in the Clear Creek Watershed, investigators focused on three tasks. To continue finding and eliminating illicit connections while testing new or additional methodologies for detecting and eliminating illicit connections, then write a How To manual about the same to share with municipalities and utility districts. A total of seven (7) new tracer techniques were found but only two (2) of the new tracers were tested along with the old methodologies.
