Pipeline Replacement Projects
Highlands Ranch Water and the Highlands Ranch Metro District are collaborating on infrastructure improvement projects in three neighborhoods this summer, replacing approximately 2,175 linear feet of aging water and sewer pipelines. These upgrades address systems that have required more frequent repairs in recent years. Construction involves excavating and removing existing pipelines before installing new mains. Public streets will remain open throughout the project.
Work will take place in the following areas:
- Gleneagles Village Parkway and Cresthill Lane
- Wildcat Reserve Parkway and Silver Maple Road
- Shadow Mountain Drive between Old Stone Drive and Arrowhead Road

Shadow Mountain Pipeline Replacement
Construction on the Shadow Mountain Pipeline Replacement Project is expected to begin the week of July 20, 2026. The first phase of work will begin at the intersection of Old Stone Drive and Shadow Mountain Drive and move east. The first sections of water main to be replaced will be between the addresses of 803 and 953 Shadow Mountain, including Eagles Nest. This phase is anticipated to take approximately three weeks to complete.
Crews will install and connect a temporary water system to maintain service to affected homes. Residents may receive advance notice of temporary water shutoffs or requests for access to valves in some basements in order to provide temporary water service. During construction, residents within active work areas may be asked to park vehicles in driveways or outside excavation zones due to partial road closures. Additional notifications will be provided before work begins in front of specific homes.
Once the first phase is complete, crews will move to the second phase between the addresses of 1194 and 1324 Shadow Mountain. Additional details will be shared before work begins in that area.
