Joint Statement: Update Regarding October 28 Sewer Line Blockage

Joint Statement: Update Regarding October 28 Sewer Line Blockage

As reported on October 28, 2024 by the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District, debris from the Monarch Boulevard road and water line replacement project caused a temporary blockage to a sewer line near Monarch Boulevard and Happy Canyon Creek. This caused nearly 1,000 gallons of sewage to spill into nearby Happy Canyon Creek.

Crews cleaned up the spill on the morning of Monday, October 28. The contractor, Elite Surface Infrastructure, will pay for costs associated with the cleanup effort, and no public funds from either the City of Castle Pines or the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District will be used for the cleanup efforts.

Happy Canyon Creek is not a source of drinking water, and there is no impact on drinking water quality or safety. The Castle Pines North Metropolitan District is working with state agencies to ensure the creek bed area is safe before reopening it. Nearby trails remain open and are safe for use. The area highlighted in red in the map below identifies the impacted creek area.

Questions? Contact the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District at 303-688-8550.
