Renovation Begins On Clarkson Street Pump Station

LITTLETON, CO — Denver Water has begun renovations on an underground vault in Greenwood Village, and Littleton commuters can expect delays.

The agency's contractor, Moltz Construction, is upgrading water pumps in a project that's expected to last 7 months.

The South Clarkson Street and East Sunset Ridge Street intersection will be closed during the project. Drivers are asked to use the East Belleview Avenue or East Littleton Boulevard detours to South Broadway. Working hours are around 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.

"The contractor will make every attempt to complete this project within the stated timeframe," Denver Water's project website reads.
