Triview Metropolitan District is partnering with Colorado Springs Utilities and Forest Lakes Metropolitan District on a major wastewater infrastructure project that will benefit our community for decades to come.
What is the NMCI?
The Northern Monument Creek Interceptor is an 8.6-mile pipeline that will carry Triview’s wastewater to Colorado Springs Utilities’ modern treatment facilities located off of the Garden of the God’s Road and I-25. This regional partnership consolidates wastewater treatment for our area, creating significant efficiencies, the sharing of regulatory risk with Colorado Springs Utilities’ much larger customer base, and ensuring reliable service to both the Triview and Forest Lakes Metropolitan Districts now and in the future.
Project Cost Sharing
The three participating agencies will share construction costs based on their projected wastewater flows:
- Total Project Cost: $90.3 million
- Triview Metropolitan District: $25.66 million (28.42%)
- Forest Lakes Metropolitan District: $6.78 million (7.50%)
- Colorado Springs Utilities: $57.86 million (64.08%)
Upon completion, Colorado Springs Utilities will own and operate the pipeline, with each partner maintaining rights to capacity proportional to their investment.
