Full Road Closure During Water System Improvement Project’s Final Phase
Posted on: Aug-22-2025
Fort Collins Utilities’ Oak Street Water System Improvement Project will begin construction on its final phase beginning the week of Aug. 25. This work will consist of replacing aging water mains to enhance system reliability, improve fire flow capacity, and protect water quality.
Mountain Avenue between Scott and McKinley Avenues will be closed in both directions. Utilities expects the work and road closure to end in late September (weather permitting).
Crews will work from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The active construction zone extends from the Jackson and Mountain Avenues intersection east to Pearl Street. Residents will be able to get to their homes throughout construction, but vehicle access may be limited at times. Pedestrians will still be able to use sidewalks.
The Water System Improvement Project is replacing the water main in preparation for stormwater infrastructure upgrades under the Oak Street Stormwater Improvement Project.

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).
Ensuring the dryer vent pipe is not kinked or blocked helps your dryer run more efficiently.
You can prevent clogs and expensive repairs by only flushing the three Ps: pee, poo and toilet paper.
