Good morning, Fort Collins.

Colorado State Patrol said motorcyclists were at fault in 669 crashes last year—a 52% jump from 2023—that killed 162 people, with most crashes happening Saturdays between 2 and 4 p.m. on I-25 and I-70.

Fort Collins updated its fireworks ordinance to allow police to cite anyone with a possessory interest—owner, tenant, or other occupant—if fireworks are set off illegally.

The new rule takes effect June 13 and enforces the city’s long-held ban on all fireworks with a minimum fine of $1,000.

Fort Collins Utilities released its 2024 Drinking Water Quality Report on June 9, showing water test results and details on water safety + water sources, and it meets the federal requirement to provide reports before July.

The Fort Collins Loveland Water District has partnered with FrontRange H2O to add underground water storage that will help secure water supplies for its 67,000 customers.

The Vita H2O Project—using an Aquifer Storage and Recovery system—will store extra water in wet years for later use during droughts and boost long-term resilience.

The City of Fort Collins will complete asphalt overlay work on North Timberline Road and East Laurel Street from June 16 through June 27—forcing closures and detours via Mulberry, Lincoln, Lemay, Myrtle and Interstate 25 Frontage Road.

Drivers are advised to follow posted detour routes and plan for changing traffic patterns during work hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
