Segment A will install 12 miles (8.5 miles within Thornton) of 42-inch diameter raw water pipeline.  Segment A of the TWP project extends from 168th Avenue along Quebec Street toward 120th Avenue; the pipeline continues south and west toward Riverdale Road and 112th Avenue, then south to 104th Avenue at McKay Road, then entering open space areas in Thornton and Adams County to terminate south and east of 88th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard connecting to the Thornton Wes Brown Water Treatment Plant (WBWTP).

This project includes the following four construction packages:

• The Phase I pipeline starts at the intersection of E 168th Avenue and Quebec Street and continues south essentially along Quebec Street to E 120th Avenue.
• The Phase II pipeline starts at the end of Phase I and continues south to the WBWTP near E 88th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard.
• WBWTP connection:  Work includes connection of the Phase II pipeline to the treatment plant inlet pipeline.
• The Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) and Meter Vault are adjacent to the WBWTP. Work includes a vault for a future PRV.

This segment of the project is scheduled to be complete in summer of 2026.  Click on the image to the right to see the water pipeline route in Segment A.
