Project will impact portion of 11th Avenue for about a month. 

GREELEY, Colo. — Starting July 7, the City of Greeley will begin a large water project in the Farr Neighborhood. This work will help improve water service, reduce the need for future repairs, and make fire protection better for homes in the area. 

What’s Happening? 

• Water Line Replacement on 11th Avenue: Crews will replace an aging water line under 11th Avenue between 24th and 25th Streets. Work is expected to finish by August 25. A traffic plan is in place, but it may change, so drivers should avoid the area if they can. Residents on the east side of 11th Avenue will get temporary water during construction and will be told by the crew when that happens. Other nearby homes may have short water shutoffs, and those residents will be told ahead of time. 
  

• Moving Water Lines to Front of Homes: The city will also move old water lines—some almost 70 years old—from backyards to the front of homes west of 11th Avenue between 24th and 25th Streets. Crews will continue working west toward 17th Avenue.  
   
  These older lines often leak or break, which means the city has to dig into yards and move fences or landscaping. Moving the water lines to the front of homes will make future repairs easier and faster, with fewer problems for homeowners. This work will continue through Spring 2026.   
  

• New Water Meters: Crews will install new water meters in front yards and connect each home to the new water line. 

• Abandoning Old Lines: Existing backyard water lines will be taken out of service and abandoned. Sewer lines will not be moved. 

What to Expect 

• Traffic Delays: Drivers should expect delays on 11th Avenue between 24th and 25th Streets through August 25. 

• Road Closures and Water Shutoffs: Residents along 25th Street between 10th and 17th Avenues may experience temporary road closures and water shutoffs. The city will notify these residents ahead of time.
