Boyd Water Line Project

The City of Greeley will complete the Boyd Water Line, a critical infrastructure project that supports long-term growth and development in West Greeley.

This decision follows a comprehensive review of the project’s current status, prior investments and the role this infrastructure plays in supporting future growth. At this stage, approximately $14 million of the $17 million total project cost has already been invested, and custom high-pressure water pipe has been manufactured and delivered to the site.

Why the City is moving forward

Completing the Boyd Water Line is a practical and forward-looking decision based on several key factors:

• Significant progress has already been made. With the majority of project costs already incurred and materials staged on site, completing the project allows the City to deliver a fully functional system rather than leaving partially completed infrastructure in place.
• Water infrastructure is essential for future growth. Reliable water service is a foundational requirement for residential, commercial and employment development. This investment ensures West Greeley is prepared for future opportunities, regardless of the outcome of the Catalyst project.
• Protecting prior investment. Completing the water line allows the City to maximize the value of funds already committed and avoid inefficiencies associated with halting work mid-project.
• Supporting long-term economic development. Infrastructure like the Boyd Water Line enables future development by ensuring that utilities are in place when needed. This helps position Greeley to respond to growth in a coordinated and cost-effective way.

What this means moving forward

The Boyd Water Line is not tied to a single project. Instead, it is part of the broader infrastructure network needed to support growth in West Greeley over time.

Completing the line ensures the City is prepared for a range of future development scenarios and avoids delays or additional costs that could arise from restarting infrastructure work later.

What to expect

• Construction will continue to completion
• Installed materials, including high-pressure pipe already on site, will be utilized
• The completed system will remain in place to serve future development needs

The City will continue to evaluate next steps for West Greeley and provide updates as decisions are made.
