Today was a "wheelie" great day! Our Public Works team took a detour to visit the wonderful kiddos at Hagen Early Education Center for a morning of discovery and heavy machinery.

We brought along some of our hardest workers:

The Front Loader & Street Grater: The kids couldn’t believe their eyes. Those tires are taller than they are!

"Big Blue" the Dump Truck: A crowd favorite that definitely lived up to its name (even if the kids were quick to point out it’s actually mostly black!).

The Small Trash Truck: Watching the lift in action is always a show-stopper!

There’s nothing better than seeing the pure amazement on their faces as they learned how these giants help keep our city running.

Huge thanks to the staff at Hagen for having us. We had just as much fun as the kids did!

A significant construction project is currently underway at Sterling’s Wastewater Treatment Facility located outside city limits.

This project focuses on upgrading critical infrastructure that treats all of the community’s wastewater. These improvements help us meet state and federal regulations, increase reliability, and position the system to serve Sterling well into the future.

The project is being financed in part through Colorado’s State Revolving Fund program. SRF funding provides low interest loans for essential water and wastewater infrastructure, allowing communities like ours to complete large scale projects in a financially responsible way while minimizing impacts to local ratepayers.

Projects like this are not always visible, but they are some of the most important investments we make. We appreciate your support as we continue strengthening the systems that keep our community running every day.
