Rivercrossing Waterline
This project is needed to ensure adequate water supply north of the Little Platte River. Currently, there is only one 8” main across the river and this improvement will provide additional capacity and reliability. This project was identified as a priority need in the Water Master Plan. The project will install a new 12” water main under the Little Platte River for capacity and reliability. The waterline will go from Main Street to 3rd Street and will be approximately 2,560’ in length. This project was bid
with the Smith Fork force main. The river crossing will begin after Smith Fork force main in late summer.
DD HWY Waterline - Construction started 3/30/26
This project will replace an existing water line along DD Highway that has experienced frequent and ongoing breaks. The original line is owned by the county; however, due to its age, condition, and continued maintenance issues, the county no longer has a use for the line and plans to abandon it.
Construction of a new water line is necessary for the City to continue providing reliable water service to residents and businesses along DD Highway, including the Litton Center. This project was awarded to Menke Excavating.
