About the Project

The Garfield-Harrison Project is a large-scale master planned stormwater project that began in January 2022. The four-phase project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2026. The project addresses the multiple drainage problems caused by aging and undersized infrastructure in the west part of downtown Loveland. Partnering with the City’s Water and Wastewater divisions, Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program and Stormwater Engineering, the project also includes new waterline, sanitary sewer, street resurfacing, and various concrete repairs that will improve ADA accessibility.

The four-year, four phase capital project has completed the following improvements to date:

• Installed over 9,650 feet of various-sized stormwater pipes, including 3,100 feet of 54-inch concrete stormwater pipes.
• Installed over 54 manholes and 52 inlets.
• Over 7,000 feet of new waterline installed.
• Completely re-built 1st Street from Garfield Avenue west to the Big Thompson River.
• Once Stormwater improvements were completed, all of 1st Street and Sheridan Avenue within the project area were repaved to meet LCUASS (Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards) requirements.

Project Funding

The project is funded through the Stormwater and Water Enterprise Funds. Enterprise funds are dedicated funds supported by user fees in the monthly utility bill. Similar to a business, user fees fund the operation, maintenance, administration, and capital improvement projects required to provide the service.

Under the five work zones, there will be road closures in blocked segments to install the new water and stormwater pipelines. The road closures will follow the timeline of the work zones.

Upcoming Traffic Impacts

The Stormwater Engineering division’s contractor, Connell Resources, will begin the first road closure at W. 5^th Street and continue to W. 7^th Street.
