The Town of Berthoud, Colorado

The Town of Berthoud is centrally located in the northern Front Range four miles west of I-25 on Highway 56 (Exit 250).

ROUNDABOUT UPDATE

The roundabout is now open.  

As part of the extension of the Roundabout Project, 1^st street south of the Roundabout will be under construction for the next two weeks for replacement of ditch crossings at Welch, new curb and gutter, along with pavement replacement. 

All southbound traffic will be detoured south onto 2^nd Street from Mountain Avenue then to Welch Street from 2^nd Street and northbound traffic will be detoured at 1^st Street and Welch back to Mountain Avenue.  Local and Pedestrian access will be maintained during this closure.

The Landscape Enhancement is also currently underway at the Roundabout. This will involve final landscape and sign improvements.

 WATER UPDATE

The Town is addressing the water smell and odor issues by activating connections to Little Thompson water.  This is being done in stages and requires each segment to be flushed to avoid changing "smelly" water for "brown" water.  The first stage is east to west along Mountain Avenue.  This tap does not have enough pressure to handle the entire town.  The west tap is expected to be operational by the end of July.  The combination of the two taps should provide enough pressure to supply all residents.  In addition physical modifications are being made at the water plant to move the carbon filtration system to the beginning of the process to allow more time in the water before it leaves the plant.

EMERGENCY WARNING

Berthoud is a member of the Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority (LETA).  Residents of Larimer County can register to receive emergency notifications on home telephone, cell phone, email address, fax or work telephone.  Emergency warnings could be flood, wild fire, police activity, natural gas leak, or severe weather such as tornado watchs and warnings.
