2023 Orchard Road Waterline Abandonment Project

Please excuse our mess! Our apologies in advance for the annoyance of traffic impacts and water shut-offs! Thank You for your patience and cooperation while we replace the waterlines to improve your neighborhood!


Schedule Update: 5/23/2023

The contractor has begun work on this project. Currently, the contractor is working on waterline abandonment on the west side of I-25 on Orchard Road. Traffic control is in place to re-route traffic appropriately.

The contractor will be shifting to the east side of I-25 on Orchard Road on Wednesday and Thursday of the week of May 21st. Traffic control will be in place to re-route traffic appropriately. 

Work is expected to be completed by Friday. Again, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Project Information:

LocationOrchard Road (East and West sides of I-25 on Orchard Road)
Description
The Orchard Waterline Abandonment will abandon approximately 1400-feet of existing 12-inch waterline and one fire hydrant which have been determined to be hydraulically not necessary to the overall system.  Two excavations will be made on either side of I-25 to install piping which will abandon the existing waterline crossing underneath I-25.
