Re: College Avenue Water System Improvement Project Potholing Kick off. Partial Closure on College Avenue Between Mulberry and Laporte, Beginning July 24.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Fort Collins Utilities’ College Avenue Water System Improvement Project will begin confirming locations of underground utilities along the project corridor (known as “potholing”) beginning July 24. This work being completed will support the design of the future water project which will replace existing infrastructure in downtown Fort Collins. The replacement of ageing water mains will enhance system reliability, improve fire flow capacity, and protect water quality.
The project extends along College Avenue from Mulberry Street to Laporte Avenue. Potholing will begin at the intersection of Mulberry Street and College Avenue and progress to the north. There will be a partial lane closure on College Avenue around the active work zones.
Crews will be conducting work between the hours of 8:30am to 1:00pm, Monday through Friday. This portion of the project has an anticipated completion date of August 13, weather permitting.

Did You Know?
To keep high-efficiency toilets and sinks performing well, remember to only flush the three Ps and throw FOG in the trash.
In warm seasons at night (when temperatures are cooler), open windows when you feel comfortable doing so (i.e. in calm weather condition, with a window stopper in place, during clean air days, etc).
When it rains, pollutants go down storm drains, contaminating our water bodies. Small leaks and drips add up. Don’t drip and drive.
