Lakewood water-main replacement enters construction phase

Lakewood announced July 6 that a project to replace sections of the city’s municipal water system was moving into its construction phase in mid-July. Initial work is planned for Country Club Drive between East Carson Street and north of Cartagena Street.

The project puts construction activity on a defined Lakewood corridor and could bring traffic impacts as work proceeds. The city’s fiscal year 2025-2026 revised budget identifies ongoing municipal investment in infrastructure, including streets and utilities, providing context for the water-system work.

What is known about the work

The city notice identifies the Country Club Drive segment as the starting location. It does not provide the project’s total cost, a final completion date or a detailed traffic-control plan. Those details remain unavailable in the approved records.

The available source set also does not establish whether construction had reached a specific block by Aug. 8. It does not confirm a water outage or indicate that the entire water-main replacement project has been completed.

The next known step is the planned start of construction on the Country Club Drive segment in mid-July. The city’s announcement does not provide a later construction milestone or a confirmed completion date.
