Starting on June 20, Fort Collins Utilities crews will replace a 8-inch water main and a 15-inch stormwater line in the intersection of Prospect Road at Lemay Avenue. A full closure for both eastbound and westbound traffic west of Lemay Avenue will be in place at the intersection of Lemay Avenue and Prospect Road. Traffic will only be able to travel southbound and northbound on Lemay Avenue with reduced lanes to allow crews to safely move large equipment and complete work. This project will improve system reliability, as well as protect water quality. Barricades and flaggers will been in place and detour routes will be clearly marked. Pedestrian access in the area will be maintained.
Residents will continue to have water service however, may experience cloudy or discolored water for a short time. This water is not harmful, though it may stain laundry. It is also safe to use on plants and landscaping. If you experience cloudy or discolored water:
- wait until the nearby work is complete
- remove faucet aerators or filters
- run the COLD water for 10-15 minutes (it often clears within a few minutes)
During this project, you can expect heavy machinery, construction-related traffic and construction materials. We will make every effort to minimize inconveniences and keep the area safe. If you have questions, contact Jim Carder, Utilities Water Field Operations Manager at 970-416-2165. Crews typically work Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.- 4 p.m.
