Marksheffel Water Main Installation

We will be installing more than 18,000 feet of water main along Marksheffel Road. between Peterson Space Force Base’s East Gate and Drennan Road. This water construction project will improve water service reliability and water system redundancy. 

The 30-inch and 24-inch water mains will be installed over a period of about 14 months, with the first phase lasting from December 2024 to early January 2025. The project is anticipated to be completed in early 2026.

Traffic impacts

  • Nov. 25 – Jan. 6 | Traffic lanes along Marksheffel will shift and speeds will be reduced to 40 MPH. In addition, periodic lane closures may occur throughout the project.
  • Traffic control will be in place for about 2,000 feet, beginning at the east entrance to Peterson Space Force Base, and heading southbound on Marksheffel.

Information on future phases and impacts will be shared as the project progresses.

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.
