WATER CONSTRUCTION

Capital Projects for 2020

Posted on June 2, 2020 by -



Five water main replacement projects are scheduled for construction this summer. All of these projects involve replacing old cast iron pipe with severe levels of corrosion leading to a large number of water main breaks in the last 10 years.

The construction contracts were awarded to Diaz Construction and the first project to go under construction will be the W. Canyon Avenue project. This project is likely to begin June 18.

Four of the five projects are located within the Columbine Hills subdivision, which contains some of the oldest water mains in the District. The five water mains scheduled for replacement have experienced a combined 17 water breaks, including six that occurred in 2018.
