Prairie Waters provides a new source of potable water to
the City of Aurora that has required improvements to infrastructure
throughout the City. Parks & Gardens has been
involved in the development of a number of projects that
treat, store, and deliver water to residents. The capacity
at the Wemlinger Treatment Plant was increased through the
addition of an alkalinity adjustment facility, pump station
and purification basins. Across the street, existing treatment
lagoons within the Quincy Reservoir Recreation Area are
reconstructed to both increase storage and integrate with
the natural area. Pump stations within the Aurora Reservoir
campus and within neighborhood developments are sensitively
sited to minimize their impact. Communications towers, which
can become practically invisible, were located to minimize
their visual impact.
Auxiliary Projects Include:
Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant
Quincy Reservoir Treatment Lagoons
SCADA WAN Communications Towers
Pump Station at Zone Seven and Tank at Zone Five
Pump Station at Zone Eight

Landscape at the new Zone 8 pump station will consist of
native, drought-tolerant planting and seeding.
Treatment lagoons respond to topography within the Quincy
Reservoir Recreation Area.
Restoration plantings at the tank and pump station respond
to Aurora Reservoir Open Space Design Guidelines.
