On Saturday, September 12, 2026, Colorado Springs Utilities will excavate the roadway on Cache La Poudre Street between Cascade Avenue and Tejon Street to investigate a water main leak and determine the scope of the required repairs. Work will take place from approximately 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. During this time, the road will be closed with limited access in the area.
There will be no water service interruption on September 12. The work being performed is strictly investigative and is intended to identify the cause of the leak and the materials needed to complete the permanent repair.
The roadway will be temporarily restored and reopened on Saturday evening to allow normal traffic flow during the following week.

The permanent water main repair is currently scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2026. This repair will require a planned water shutdown and service interruption for affected areas.
