More about the project:
The City is committed to providing reliable, high-quality utility service to our customers. As part of this commitment, we are continually upgrading and replacing aging underground infrastructure within our water distribution and wastewater collection systems.
The next phase of improvements will focus on Taft Avenue between 18th Street and 29th Street. Crews will replace aging waterlines and stormwater infrastructure to improve service reliability, increase system capacity and reduce neighborhood flooding during heavy rain events.
Upcoming Infrastructure Improvements on Taft Avenue
Project Area: North Taft Avenue between 18th Street and 29th Street
Start: Early December 2025
End: June 2026 (anticipated)
Scope of Work
Water Line Replacement
The City plans to install a new 16-inch water line along North Taft Avenue, replacing the existing 12-inch cast iron line from just north of 18th Street through West 29th Street. This upgrade will maintain system wide water pressures, improve long-term reliability and reduce disruptions from water line breaks.
Stormwater Improvements
Stormwater improvements will occur concurrently with the water line work. The Stormwater Utility will replace existing pipes, create new outlets to Lake Loveland for improved storm protection and reinforce the lake’s west banks to stabilize infrastructure and prevent erosion.
