BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Glens of Dacono, a manufactured housing subdivision built in the 1970s, is getting new main waterline pipe replacements along its main street with funding from the Community Development Block Grant approved by the Weld County Board of Commissioners.

“ is is a project that we really can get behind as a board because it brings needed improvements to this neighborhood,” said Weld County Commissioner Chairman Mike Freeman in a written statement. e City of Dacono installed the water lines on Glen Dale Street 50 years ago with cast iron, so the old water main pipes require frequent expensive maintenance with the risk of a water line break and water loss.

According to o cials, the Glen

Dale Waterlines Replacement Fund will cover the cost of $241,225. It’s the last section on Glen Dale Street for water main line replacement.

In 2022 board revised its 2022 Action Plan to put aside $310,000 of grant funding that had yet to be awarded for any proposed projects. CDBG allocates the budget to work with the communities on projects. e board then approved spending $68,775 for the 60-plus Ride on Demand Transportation e remaining block grant fund balance of $241,225 would be used for the Dacono waterline project, according to o cials.

“Last year, we saw the completion of the Evans Idaho Street sidewalk paving project, which has helped increase the use of that street. We hope this water main project sidelines maintenance needs and associated costs for Glen Dale homeowners,” Freeman said.
