First Phase of $35M Colorado Water Project Completed
Construction is well under way on a $35 million project to replace an ailing, 14.5-mile long pipeline that supplies water to Mesa County in western Colorado. After a four-year effort to obtain permitting, the Ute Water Conservancy District already has replaced 8,000 feet of pipe along I-70 near Cameo, Colo. The remaining work should be completed in 2002.
