Site work and renovation of a water / sewer project in Boulder, Colorado. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

This project will provide funds for the rehabilitation/replacement of the existing outlet works system of Barker Dam. The Barker Dam outlet facilities are over 100-years old and in need of significant rehabilitation. The current configuration of the outlet gates requires that Barker Reservoir be nearly emptied to perform a thorough inspection once every 5-10 years. Reconfiguration of the outlet facilities would potentially eliminate the need to empty the reservoir for gate inspection. As currently envisioned, the project would require construction of a vertical shaft near the north embankment, inlet tunnels and one outlet tunnel, an outlet distribution facility, a pipeline to Barker Gravity Line, and valve house. The outlet facilities would provide the opportunity to develop a hydroelectric generation facility as well. Information regarding the alternative approaches will be provided as part of the Community & Environmental Assessment Process (CEAP). As of January 29, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2022-2027 CIP . Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction Fy 2023. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2023. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
