Southside Drainage Improvements~ New York Ave- Second Phase~ COMPLETE 2021
New Storm Sewer Installation with Complete Urban Street Reconstruction of New York Ave from 6th Street through 10th Street.
The Army Corps of Engineers disclosed to the City that some homeowners on the south side of Breckenridge would still be required to purchase flood insurance as determined by a 100-year rain event due to internal drainage issues which were not part of the original flood protection project.
This project is to have additional storm drainage for rain water (100-year flood). Currently the levees are holding back the river water, but in return holding in the rain water. With the installation of the new culverts and storm sewers and by overtopping the roadways the water ultimately makes it's way to the levees, and pump, for discharge to the river.

THANK YOU!
Breckenridge Water Treatment Plant~ COMPLETE 2020
As of October 1st, 2019 the New water plant has been the primary water producing facility for the city. The chemical feeding software has been fully debugged and the system ramps up and down based on the water flow. Currently, the plant runs at 700 gallons per minute (gpm) giving us one million gallons per day capacity. Currently, the city demand is around 240K to 280K gallons per day. The plant first started producing water back in mid-July. It has run several days a week during the debug and optimization phase contributing water to our overall distribution system and providing relief to the old plant.
It has been a great project and is now time to get it into production full time. Cheers!
Neil Crocker, Director of Public Services

Highway 75 Path ~ COMPLETE 2018
If you haven’t taken a stroll on the new Highway 75 pedestrian path, this would be a great time. The 1.15-mile path starts at Veteran’s Park /Family Community Center and takes you to CHI St. Francis. This path is 10 foot-wide, family friendly, and ADA compliant so that people of all ages and physical abilities can use it.
Breckenridge Public Utility crews installated security lighting, which was made possible in part from an Otto Bremer Foundation grant. Thank you, Otto Bremer!! With the installation of lighting, the path will not only be more useable 24 hours a day but will also be a welcoming entrance to the City. Benches are installed along the path.
Research shows that exercise and being outside can improve mood and overall health. It’s a great time of year to get outside and enjoy a walk on the path!
