Construction Update: June 8-19

Hello Loveland!

Here’s the latest update on construction from June 8 to June 19, along with a look at what’s coming up next.

Construction Progress

• Crews have completed the first phase of waterline replacement on Morning Drive from Skyrock Road to W. 22nd Street. The existing 6‑inch cast iron line was upgraded to 8‑inch PVC line.
• Meter pits for homes on Morning Drive south of W. 22nd St. continue to be replaced as needed. Many pits are aging and in bad shape. Crews even uncovered one with a wood barrel.
• The temporary water system for Phase 2 is being laid out in front of homes on Morning Drive north of W. 22nd St.

Upcoming Work

• The new waterline on Morning Drive from Skyrock Road to W. 22nd Street will be tested and disinfected. Once the line is cleared for resuming water service, residents currently on temporary water will be reconnected to regular service and tied into the new main line. Temporary water service equipment will then be removed.
• Paving on Morning Drive south of 22nd is scheduled in the coming weeks.
• Temporary water service for Phase 2, Morning Drive north of 22nd Street, will continue to 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 to the end of the road.

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.
• Juniper Lane is being milled on Monday, June 22 to prepare for upcoming construction. Crews on site are directing traffic as needed to keep the detour open and maintain local access.

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

It may look like any other pipe, but this photo captures a major project milestone: the end of Phase 1 waterline replacement.

Crews were amused to find this meter pit featured an old wood barrel.
