Work is underway to improve water pressure on the west side of the city near Garden of the Gods Park. This project increases water pressure to customers and fire hydrants. It will also prepare our water system for future upgrades.
Our crews are starting work on Phase 2 of the project, where we will install a new water mains and replace existing underground pressure relief valves. These valves help regulate water pressure by maintaining safe water flow.
Construction is planned at the following locations:
- Install a new main near Mesa Road and Hill Circle
- Install a new pressure relief valve along Skywatch Heights
- Install a new valve near W. Fillmore Street and Grand Vista Circle
- Install a new main near Greenside Point
- Remove existing pressure relief valves
Project timeline
✔ Phase 1: Sept. 2025-June 2026: Work on Phase 1 is complete. During this phase, we assessed pressure reducing valves in about 675 homes or commercial buildings and replaced them as needed to prevent damage to plumbing and appliances.
• Phase 2: June-Sept. 2026: Phase 2 is in progress. Workers will be active in and around the Kissing Camels neighborhood installing new water mains and underground pressure relief valves.
• Phase 3: Sept.-Nov. 2026: Phase 3 begins. Our contractor will re-assess pressure reducing valves installed in phase 1 of the project after water pressure has increased.
