Farr Neighborhood Water Line Relocation Project

Many of the existing water lines in the Farr Neighborhood are nearly 70 years old and are in backyards. Because these older lines are more likely to leak or break, repairs can require crews to dig through yards and disturb fences, landscaping and private property.

To improve service and make future maintenance easier, the city is moving water lines to the front of homes and installing new water meters there. Each home will be connected to the new system, and the old backyard water lines will be taken out of service. Sewer lines will remain in place and will not be moved.

Where Work Will Occur

Work will begin west of 11th Avenue between 24th and 25th Streets and continue west toward 17th Avenue.

Project Schedule

Phase 1A began in January 2026, with construction of a new water main and water meter pits on 12th Avenue Court. Once that work was complete in May 2026, an outside contractor connected each property to its new water meter pit.


Future work includes:

Phase 1A: Completed (May 2026)

Phase 1B: Beginning summer 2026

Phase 1C: Beginning fall 2026

Phase 1D: Following completion of Phase 1C



Why This Project Matters

  • Improves long-term water service reliability
  • Reduces the need for emergency repairs
  • Makes future maintenance faster and less disruptive
  • Improves fire protection for homes in the neighborhood

What Residents Can Expect

  • Temporary road closures and water shutoffs for residents along 25th Street between 10th and 17th Avenues
  • Single-lane traffic and limited street parking in active work zones
  • Possible unplanned water outages, which are expected to last only a few hours
  • Driveway parking available on weekdays between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. and all day on weekends

The city will notify affected residents in advance of any planned water shutoffs and will work to maintain access to homes during construction whenever possible.

Staying Informed

Because traffic control may change as construction moves through the neighborhood, residents are encouraged to check this project page regularly for updates on schedules, access and construction impacts.

    Crews will continue work on the Farr Neighborhood waterline relocation project near the top of the 14th Avenue horseshoe, focusing on connection points to the University of Northern Colorado. Properties east and west of the horseshoe (see graphic) may experience temporary water shutdowns, and notices will be distributed to the affected homes.

    Additional work includes tying in 14th Avenue to 25th Street and continuing paving activities on 25th Street. Traffic control patterns may change as paving progresses, so travelers should use caution and follow posted signage in the area.

  • Reporting Property Damage

    If you believe construction activity caused damage to your property, please report it to the City as soon as soon as you can. Prompt reporting is important because it allows City staff and the contractor to inspect the issue, document conditions, and determine next steps. If repairs are made before the damage is reported and reviewed, it may limit the City’s or contractor’s ability to verify the claim.

    If you notice possible damage:

    • Report it right away
    • Take photos, if possible
    • Avoid making permanent repairs before the issue is reviewed, unless there is an immediate safety concern

    Please note that repair or reimbursement requests may be denied if the City and contractor were not given the opportunity to inspect the reported damage before repairs were completed.
