Background

The AVC is a major infrastructure project that upon completion will convey a reliable municipal and industrial water supply from Pueblo Reservoir to 40 communities serving a projected future population of 50,000 people in southeastern Colorado. The service area includes water providers in Bent, Crowley, Kiowa, Otero, Prowers, and Pueblo counties. When completed, the AVC will supply as much as 7,500 acre-feet annually to these communities. The Fryingpan-Arkansas Project Act, signed in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, authorized construction of the AVC, but it was never constructed because the communities could not afford 100 percent of the costs. Public Law 111-11, signed by President Barack Obama in 2009, provided 65 percent federal funding for the Arkansas Valley Conduit. A preferred project design was identified in 2014 and has since been revised to further reduce costs.

Requirements

The principal components of work include the following items:

  • Installation of approximately 5.3 miles of 30-inch water transmission pipe and associated improvements
  • Sectional, air, and blowoff valves
  • Wash Crossings
  • Jack and Bore Crossings
  • Traffic Management
