UPDATE: June 6, 2018 - Rundle Construction is gone for the summer season.
Phase II of the waterline extension begins again Monday March 26, 2018.
Here is a report that will be published in the Silver World, Friday, March 23, 2018:
Rundle Construction Returning to Complete Phase II of Waterline Replacement Project
Rundle Construction from Cedaredge, Colorado, is back at work finishing Phase II of the waterline replacement project which began in the fall of 2016. According to Town of Lake City Public Works Director Greg Levine, Rundle set a tentative start date of Monday, March 26, and as of March 19, Rundle had started mobilizing their equipment to be staged again at Memorial Park.
The first groundbreaking will occur on 8th Street between Silver Street and Gunnison Avenue from east to west in front of the Post Office.
“The finalization of Phase II will be different than the beginning of Phase II,” Levine said. “We will be wrapping up projects that we had started, but also installing a brand new waterline on 8th Street, where there was not a waterline at all before.”
When completed, the waterline will be an 8-inch heavy duty PVC pipe which will improve water flow throughout town. “The fact that it will be new means that it will give us more control over the waterlines and valves around town in general,” said Levine.
Once that portion of the project is completed, Levine says they will move over to Bluff Street from Third Street to Fifth Street to remove several feet of existing asbestos concrete waterline and replace it with the PVC.
The next phase will take the crews over to Seventh Street at Gunnison Avenue, where they will be upgrading waterlines and tying in new lines between Gunnison Avenue and Henson Street.
Rundle will finish up Phase II at Sixth Street between Henson and Gunnison Avenues where Levine reports there is a dead-end line. Dead-ends are “never good,” he says, “so there will be a looping continued page 15 project there to tie everything together. This will help the flow and will be the last piece of the puzzle.”
Rundle is planning a solid departure date of Friday, May 25, in advance of the expected summer tourism rush.
“Their departure will mark the end of our dealings with Rundle, at least on the waterline replacement side of things,” Levine says.
Once the waterline replacement is complete, the replacement of sewer lines originally installed in the 1960's will be next up on Town’s project schedule, with preliminary planning already in the works.
According to Levine, the goal is to have the downtown cooridor infrastructure finished as soon as possible, so that drainage and pavement projects can follow suit. Questions can be directed to Lake City staff, 970-944-2333.

The American Red Cross is looking for volunteers to help with disaster response in Lake City and Hinsdale County. The most needed positions are for the Disaster Action Team and Shelter Workers. These positions will not require a big time commitment unless we are actively responding to a disaster.
The Disaster Action Team members respond to small, local disasters, such as home fires. They provide immediate assistance to our clients, including financial and lodging. Our Shelter Workers will set up the shelter and manage client needs. The requirements are to take training classes and to participate in some practice scenarios. There are several other positions available during non-disaster times that will allow volunteers to put in more hours if desired.
If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, please contact: Michelle Stubbs 719-496-7733 or Courtney Strother 970-242-6641.
