Construction Update: May 11-22

Hello Loveland!

Here's the latest update on construction from May 11 to May 22 with a look at upcoming weeks as well.

The pump station shutdown on Morning Drive occurred May 12.
- Resident participation in reducing water use helped make the shutdown successful.
- During the shutdown, crews installed a new hydrant and valves to support the temporary pump station connection.
Crews, built, tested and installed a temporary connection to the pump station. This line, which came online May 21, will remain in service for about two weeks.
Excavation and removal of the existing 6-inch cast iron waterline to the pump station is underway, followed by installation of an 8-inch PVC replacement.

Replacement of the existing 6-inch cast iron line with 8-inch PVC at the pump station will be completed along with disinfection, testing and final connections.
The temporary water system built along the shoulders of Morning Drive will be disinfected, tested and connected to homes south of W. 22nd Street.
Waterline replacement on Morning Drive is expected to begin in about two weeks.

Morning Drive will remain closed to through traffic while open excavations are present.
Homeowners on Morning Drive may need to use the detour to avoid construction areas, but access to homes will be maintained.
Skyrock Road to Juniper Lane will remain the designated detour.

Thank you for your patience as we make these improvements.
