Road Closure due to Water Main Repair

  • Location: Lemay Avenue closed between Horsetooth Road and Harmony Road
  • Estimated time occurred: 11:30 a.m
  • Probable cause: Water main break

Crews are responding to a water main break on Lemay Avenue between Horsetooth Road and Harmony Road. Northbound Lemay is fully closed between Harmony and Horsetooth. Southbound Lemay is reduced to one lane between Horsetooth and Harmony.

During repairs, water service will be interrupted. Some residents may experience low pressure while others may be without service. 

When service is restored, you may experience cloudy or discolored water for a short time. This water is not harmful, though it may stain laundry. It's also safe to use on plants and landscape. If you experience cloudy or discolored water: 

  • Wait until the nearby work is complete 
  • Remove faucet aerators or filters 
  • Run the COLD water for 10-15 minutes (it often clears within a few minutes) 

If you notice improvements, continue running the cold water for a few more minutes or until it is clear. If it is not improving, turn off the water, wait 30 minutes and repeat. If it still does not clear, you can call 970-221-6700 to report your concerns. 

Please continue to monitor this site for updates.

Note: Service disruptions are only posted when 50 or more customers are impacted. This webpage is not automated and will be updated as we receive information. If you are experiencing issues with your water or wastewater service, call to report it.

Limited Pressure#

During a water line or main break, customers may still receive water with limited pressure. 

Cold Weather#

When below-freezing temperatures hit, utility companies, like us, are often concerned about our waterlines and mains freezing and breaking. However, these cold-weather breaks can also be a concern for homeowners and businesses.
