Pure Cycle Corporation
A Colorado water company that treats and recycles water and wastewater for communities across the Denver area, and builds master-planned neighborhoods like its Sky Ranch development near Watkins, complete with single-family rental homes. It was incorporated in 1976 and later reincorporated in Colorado, growing out of decades of managing water rights in the Denver Basin. One fun quirk: Sky Ranch irrigates its landscaping with highly treated recycled wastewater, so the lawns are literally watered by what goes down the drain.
