We are working to improve water service on North Academy Boulevard. Multiple isolation valves on large diameter water pipelines along the boulevard and nearby areas are being installed. These valves allow us to safely isolate the water distribution system to improve operational reliability.
The project is broken into three construction phases that will be conducted between 2023-2025. Phases 1 and 2 of the project are complete.
We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding while we work to improve water service in this area. If you have questions about the project, contact us at engage@csu.org or call (719) 668-7765.
Phase 1: April 24-May 19, 2023 (Complete)
Water valves beneath Academy Boulevard at the Maizeland Road and North Carefree Circle intersections were successfully replaced.
Phase 2: April-May 2024 (Complete)
In April 2024, we began the second phase of the Academy Corridor Water Valve Replacement Project. The project enhanced water service reliability by installing multiple isolation valves on large-diameter water mains near the North Academy Boulevard and Austin Bluffs Parkway intersection. These valves will mitigate unplanned water outages in the future, building upon lessons learned from a significant water main break that impacted the area in March 2021.
These valves will reduce the number of people affected when the water main is emptied for repairs or maintenance. In addition, they will help provide uninterrupted water service to customers during the final phase of system improvements on Academy Boulevard, which are expected in spring 2025.
Phase 3: Spring 2025
- Intersection of Academy Boulevard and Meadowland Road.
