Sheridan Blvd Water Line Replacement

What’s Happening Now:

Work is progressing along Sheridan Boulevard 

Crews are working on final service connections between 76th and 80the Ave. Additionally, we are making our final connection of the new water line at 80th Ave the week of the 1st. You may also see us working at near by cross streets as we connect our water system to the new line. Please be mindful of changing traffic control along the corridor for your safety and the safety of our crews.  North and southbound travel will be maintained throughout the project. You will receive advance notice if your water service is impacted. Work is anticipated to be complete by late Spring 2023.

Expect to see crews:  

• Laying out traffic control and temporarily adjusting travel lanes
• Locating utilities and digging holes  
• Saw cutting asphalt and beginning roadway removal
• Beginning to lay new water line pipe on Sheridan Boulevard

We will provide you with regular updates on how the project may impact you, your neighbors, and nearby businesses. The best ways to stay in touch are to sign up for our email listserv. We will send listservs as needed for traffic changes, impacts, project updates, and schedule updates.

Project Overview:

The Sheridan Water Line Replacement Project addresses concerns of age, condition, and capacity of the current water Line along Sheridan Blvd between 72nd and 80th Avenue. Replacing the pipe will greatly reduce the potential for a watermain break and ensures South Westminster residents along the Sheridan corridor will have better and more reliable water service. We plan to dig up the 1960’s-year-old water main and install a new watermain this year. We know this may cause some potential traffic delays along with construction noise, and we will do all that we can to minimize the inconvenience to your community. When complete, the project will repave parts of Sheridan Boulevard and add fresh striping, supporting a smooth and safe driving experience.

This project is the second phase of a larger vision to modernize the water infrastructure along the Sheridan corridor. In 2016 we completed the first phase of the water line from 80th to 88th Avenue, and we anticipate replacing the water line all the way to 120th Avenue in the future.

What to expect during construction:

The Sheridan Water Line Replacement Project will be working throughout the roadway and shoulder as needed. We understand that construction can be noisy and inconvenient, and want to make sure you — especially those that live, work, and travel along Sheridan Blvd — know what to expect as this work continues into 2023.
