Plum Street Sanitary & Storm Drainage Improvements Project#

In coordination with The District at Campus West development on Plum Street, Fort Collins Utilities removed, replaced and up-sized portions of the existing sanitary sewer line and storm drainage system along Plum and Shields streets and City Park Avenue.

Sanitary Sewer
The old 8- and 10-inch sanitary sewer lines were up-sized to 12-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe from Shields Street to north of City Park Avenue, approximately 530 lineal feet. A total of 13 manholes were installed.

Storm Drainage System
To help mitigate existing flooding issues on Plum Street, the storm drainage system also was up-sized. It was moved to the east side on Shields Street and approximately 230 lineal feet of 36-inch PVC pipe was installed from the intersection of Shields and Plum streets south along Shields Street. A combination of 21- and 30-inch PVC pipe totaling 570 lineal feet was installed along Plum Street to Aster Street. Two 10-foot stormwater drainage inlets were installed on Plum Street near Aster Street, in addition to five manholes.

There are many ways to pay your bill, including online, in-person and by phone.

Watering only when grass turns a dull, grey-green color and footprints remain helps save water and money. 

Insulating hot water pipes leading from the water heater helps keep your hot water from cooling off before it gets to the tap.
