Construction Update: June 22 to July 3

Hello Loveland!

Here’s the latest update on construction from June 22 to July 3, along with a look at what’s coming up next.

Construction Progress

Phase 1:

• Waterline replacement from the Pump Station on Morning Drive to W. 22nd Street is now complete and in service. Residents in this section have received upgraded meter pits and are now being served from the new PVC water main instead of temporary water.
• Initial paving on Morning Drive from Skyrock to W. 22nd Street took place Monday, June 29. Final paving is expected in the coming weeks.

Phase 2:

• Homes in Phase 2, Morning Drive north of W. 22nd Street to the end of the road, are now on temporary water. The temporary system will serve these homes from June 30 to about July 24.
• Crews have begun installing new 8‑inch PVC waterline north of W. 22nd Street. New meter pits and service lines have also been installed where needed as the new line goes in.

Phase 3:

• The north side of Juniper Lane was milled to prepare for waterline installation planned for late July and August.

Upcoming Work

• Crews will continue installing new waterline to the north on Morning Drive from 22nd Street to the end of the road. Meter pits will be replaced as needed and project staff will reach out to discuss any necessary replacements and coordination with homeowners.
• Final paving of all of Morning Drive is expected mid-July or just after.
• Temporary water service for Phase 3, along Juniper Lane, will be built out, tested and disinfected. Once that is complete, residents will be moved onto the temporary water service as crews being waterline replacement in this area later in July.

Traffic Control

• Traffic control remains largely the same as construction continues north along Morning Drive.
• Morning Drive will stay closed to through traffic while open excavations are present. Homeowners will continue to have access but may need to use the Skyrock Road to Juniper Lane detour to avoid active construction.
• Xcel will begin replacement of electric poles in the area in July, which may lead to additional delays or brief obstructions.
• Additional information about traffic routes and what to expect after the paving of Morning Drive and the transition of waterline replacement along Juniper Lane will be sent out next week.

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