The providers would share the cost of construction of the pipeline based on projected average daily flows for each participant.
The 8.6-mile, 30-inch wide pipeline would begin at the southern edge of the U.S. Air Force Academy property and extend to the Upper Monument Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Project benefits
This project would reduce operations and maintenance costs while ensuring wastewater service remains reliable for our customers. This would be achieved by:
• Using existing capacity at our J.D. Phillips Water Resource Recovery Facility and Las Vegas Street Water Resource Recovery Facility to treat wastewater flows from the partner organizations.
• Allowing us to retire the aging Middle Tributary Lift Station, located north of I-25 and Interquest Parkway.
• Reducing strain on our Kettle Creek Lift Station.
Project timeline
• February-April 2026: Intergovernmental agreement and wastewater service agreements finalized
• May-June 2026: Construction begins
• Fall 2028: Project completed
