Project Summary: 2017 Water Main Improvement Project image

This project consists of the installation of 4,771 feet of new water main of various diameters and 658 feet of a new relief/storm sewer extension of various diameters at locations throughout the City. The water mains to be replaced are either selected by condition based on the number of main breaks or selected to improve system capacity to meet anticipated fire flow demand. The sewer extension on Hinman will provide combined sewer relief to reduce the magnitude and frequency of sewer surcharging in the area. Grant and Lee Streets will be resurfaced after completion of the water main work. Howard Street and Hinman Avenue will be patched after completion of the water main work and sewer work, respectively. Howard Street is scheduled to be fully rehabilitated in 2019 using federal grant funds and Hinman Avenue is scheduled to be resurfaced using MFT funds in the summer of 2017.
This project also included a bid alternate to replace four outdoor drinking fountains at various parks throughout the City. These fountains are recommended to be replaced due to their condition and age. The fountains are located at Harper, Independence,Larimer, and McCulloch parks. This project is scheduled to begin in May 2017 and be completed in October 2017.
