Gardner Excavating will be starting the Phase 4 Sewer "Potholing Project" on Tuesday 9/8/26. Potholing is the process of simply locating underground utilities using a Vac truck, backhoe, or similar means to find the locations and depths of any utility lines that are present in scope of work to be done in the near future. In this case, potholing is being done for the Phase 4 Sewer Upgrade Project.
Please see the attached maps of the various locations that Gardner Excavating (and the Creede PW Dept. crew) will be working in the upcoming weeks, starting Tuesday 9/8/26.
The areas are along Aspen Ave & W. 3rd St, Silver Dr, Bee McClure, Helfin Dr, Soapy St, Capital/Aspen, and Aspen/W. 3rd St. (Please reference attached maps for specific areas in these regions).
Gardner Excavating will be working approximately 8:00 am until 5:00 pm M-F in the next upcoming weeks.
Please drive carefully in any work zone areas and try to detour around the work zone areas if at all possible.
Please help spread the word within your departments and/or business to help keep everyone aware of this project moving forward.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation with aiding in the improvement of Creede's waste water collection system!

Attention Creede
ACI Constructors has run into problems with their sealant machine today. Unfortunately, they were unable to correct the problems with the sealant machine and in turn, this means delay in the street crack sealings happening around the City of Creede. ACI Constructors are unable to continue the rest of the work until further notice.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this project.

Red Flume Explanation: The EPA and their contractor, HDR, are beginning a new study by injecting a dye tracer deep within Nelson Tunnel. The purpose of this study is to be able to track the flow path and flow rate of water through the mountain as it runs through the mine pools and tunnels. We will have instrumentation and samplers onsite regularly through August and September to collect samples and data from this study. The two fluorescent dye tracers being used are non-toxic, photodegradable products provided by the Crawford Hydrology Lab at Western Kentucky University. They are Sulphorhodamine B (red/purple) and Eosine OJ (orange). The products will come pre-mixed in water and are commonly used for investigations of this type. It is possible some of this dye may be evident in West Willow Creek/Willow Creek in August and September. Because it is photodegradable, sunlight will break it down quickly so permanent staining is not an issue. Please contact EPA Project Manager, Dania Zinner, with any questions ([email protected]).
