The City of Greeley and Reynolds Construction recently completed Phase 1 of the Terry Ranch Pipeline Project when it laid the final sections of the initial 7.7 miles of pipeline into place north of Windsor. Greeley and Reynolds project staff celebrated the milestone by signing a section of the pipeline before lowering it into the ground and welding it into place. The Terry Ranch Aquifer, an underground pocket of water, contains nearly 2 million acre-feet of drought-resilient groundwater. The city plans to recharge and store water in the aquifer during wet years and withdraw and treat it for municipal uses during extended droughts. The 30-mile pipeline is being built in phases over time to keep Greeley’s water rates low. Once completed, it will connect Greeley’s existing treated water pipeline infrastructure to the Terry Ranch water treatment plant and underground aquifer. Jim Paulson, a civil engineer with Greeley’s Water and Sewer Department, credits the construction and engineering teams with keeping Phase 1 on schedule and under budget. "I’m excited that we’ve completed the first seven miles of new 36-inch welded steel pipeline that will serve the community for generations to come,” Paulson said.
