Projects and Improvements#
Current Projects#
Halligan Water Supply Project
If approved, the Halligan Water Supply Project will enlarge Halligan Reservoir by approximately 8,100 acre-feet to help provide additional protection for Fort Collins Utilities' water customers from future service interruptions during emergencies.
Oak Street Stormwater Improvements Project
The Oak Street Stormwater Improvements Project is one of several stormwater projects that have been identified as part of the overall Downtown Stormwater Improvement Program (DSIP) and will contribute to resolving the urban flooding issues in downtown Fort Collins.
Fossil and Stanton Creek Stream Rehabilitation Project
Beginning in October 2025, this project will address the impacts from agricultural flows through Fossil Creek and work with existing conditions on Stanton Creek to create a more sustainable channel.
Downtown Stormwater Improvement Plan (DSIP)
Downtown Fort Collins is at risk for flooding and pollution from urban stormwater runoff from downtown can impact the Cache la Poudre River. DSIP will address the five major stormwater projects remaining in the downtown area.
Sewer Collection System Improvement Project
Portions of our sewer systems have been identified as high priority projects based on age, condition and size. Crews will replace or rehabilitate aging wastewater collection infrastructure with new infrastructure that meets current standards. The program will focus on sewer lines in the Downtown area where Utilities records indicate the wastewater system was installed in the early 1900s.
The first step in this project is to confirm locations of existing underground utilities (known as 'potholing').
