Ridge/Hollywood Sewer Main Replacement Project
The Department of Water Management (DWM) plans to begin work on an $8 million sewer main and lead service line replacement project along Hollywood, Ridge, and other nearby roads starting this Monday, February 24 (delayed from February 17 due to extreme cold). Many of the lines being replaced date back to as early as 1833!
The crew will start at the intersection of N Glenwood and W Hollywood. Rodent control has been completed at all locations for the project. No Parking signs will be posted at the intersection of N Glenwood and W Hollywood.
This project will be broken up into four phases:
Jan-May: Contractor work (see area highlighted in blue above)
Feb-May: Sewer Main replacement (see area highlighted in red above)
May-Sept: Lead service line replacement (entire project area)
Ongoing: Restoration and CDOT work
Work on this project is expected to wrap up during fall 2025. Please note that project details are subject to change. Contact info@the48thward.org with questions.
