The contractor began work around the future tank site in January. Thus far, access to the tank has been cleared, and a road has been “roughed” in. At the location of the tank, geotechnical confirmation of sub-surface conditions is pending.

In late April/early May, the contractor will begin construction on the tank and adjacent instrumentation building. Construction of the new water mains will start in May. Most service line connections will be completed in 2024, with the exception of a few connections in late 2023.

Last month, the Town of Estes Park held a Zoom presentation about the project for the Upper Venner Ranch Estates Property Owner’s Association. The presentation slides can be viewed at the link below.

The Prospect Mountain Water Improvement project is currently out for bid. Once contractors have submitted proposals in late Summer/early Fall, Town staff will hold an informational meeting with the public to discuss costs and a preliminary schedule for construction. Residents may notice some activity in the project area as contractors prepare estimates during the bid process, however actual construction work will not begin without advance resident notification. A rough, preliminary estimate for the start of construction is in mid-Fall of 2022. Work is anticipated to be ongoing for two years.
