Construction Update: August 31-September 11

Hello Loveland! Here’s the latest update on construction from August 17-28, along with a look ahead at what’s coming next.

Construction Progress

Ponderosa Drive

• Continued installation of the 8-inch and 4-inch PVC waterline up Ponderosa Dr to the Namaqua Hills Pump Station. Crews finished installation of the 4-inch line but needed more time in this section than originally planned.
• Disinfection and testing of the 4-inch waterline completed.

Pump station

• Crews have begun excavating and installing pipe at the pump station.

Upcoming Work

Ponderosa Drive

• Crews will complete installation of the 8-inch waterline up to the pump station.
• Meter pits will be replaced as needed.
• Disinfection and testing of the new 8-inch line will begin, with customers switching to the permanent system.
• Paving has been rescheduled to the week of September 21st.

Pump station

• Crews will finish connecting the new waterline to the pump station. Any customers affected by a water shutdown due to this work will be notified in advance.

Skyrock Road (south of Ponderosa Drive)

• Waterline installation will begin after installation of the 8-inch waterline at Ponderosa completes. This is the final section of Phase 4.

Traffic Control

• Traffic detours remain the same. Residents on Ponderosa Drive and Ponderosa Place should use the northern entrance to Skyrock Road, Juniper Lane and Morning Drive to avoid construction.
• Sections of Skyrock Road and Ponderosa Drive remain closed to through traffic.
• Xcel Energy contractors continue replacing electric poles, which may cause occasional delays.

Thank you for your patience as we continue making important improvements to your neighborhood’s water system.
