Description
From May - August 2018, Fort Collins Utilities replaced old and undersized water and sewer infrastructure in the Old Town Library Park neighborhood.
At nearly 100 years old, the 4-inch waterlines that were replaced, were some of the oldest in the city and beginning to show signs of restricted flows and reduced water quality.
The larger, upgraded infrastructure improves:
- water quality
- reliability
- fire safety by providing additional water flow
The aged sanitary sewer infrastructure also was upgraded to prevent future drainage concerns.
