Planned upgrades to our Bellvue Water Treatment Plant
Four river basins. Six high-mountain reservoirs. Two treatment plants. More than 141 miles of transmission pipeline. Three covered reservoirs and one elevated tank. Nearly 460 miles of distribution pipeline.
Greeley’s water system is a complicated marvel of engineering, efficiency, and resiliency. In order to keep it running smoothly, we need to perform periodic maintenance or replacement of aging infrastructure. This fall, we’ll be working at
the Bellvue Water Treatment Plant, performing construction activity that will lead to the replacement of late 1940s-era filters with new filter models that will last another seventy years. This activity will require that Bellvue be shut down from
early October to mid-November and that Boyd Lake Water Treatment Plant will provide the majority of Greeley’s treated water supply during that time.
