WORK AREA MAP
What to Expect
Road Closures and Construction Traffic
Full road closures will be required to facilitate the sanitary collection system replacement. Closures will be limited within the work areas to the extent practicable to allow for sanitary replacement and bypass pumping operations. Traffic control plans for the work will be permitted through the City of Leadville, and detour routes will be posted around work areas. Work will be contained to the public right-of-way, and access to private property is not anticipated at this time. Please obey all construction signage and observe road closures for your safety and to help expedite work. Please be prepared for delays with changing road closures and additional construction related traffic around the work areas.
Work areas will be restored to preconstruction conditions. Some areas may be temporarily restored to allow for early public access after the sanitary replacement is completed and prior to final restoration.
We are committed to maintaining a safe environment for the public and our crews. Please reduce speeds around work areas, obey signage and direction given from crews, watch for crews and construction equipment, and do not enter construction areas. Please report any observed unsafe conditions to the emergency contacts provided below.
Service Outages and Interruptions
Water and sanitary service outages will be required during active work to complete the sanitary collection system replacement. Bypass pumping will be performed during work hours to limit service outage areas to the extent practicable. Service outages will be required daily during work hours (7:00 AM to 5:00 PM), and service will be restored for use during non-working hours and weekends.
Notifications will be provided to inform properties of upcoming service interruptions/outages, which will include anticipated outage dates and times. The notifications will be posted on the residences and/or businesses of properties that will experience outages/interruptions a minimum 48-hours in advance of the outage/interruption.
Bypass Pumping
Bypass pumping will be performed during work to limit service outage areas to the extent practicable. Pumps, hoses, and other bypass equipment will be deployed in the public right-of-way around work areas. Some of the road closures you will observe around work areas are required solely for pumping operations. Please obey all construction signage and observe road closures for your safety and to help expedite work.
