Final Leavitt contract awarded, construction progress on schedule

As July ends and August begins, the expansion of the Leavitt Reservoir remains on schedule, providing hope to ranchers in the Shell area that they will soon have additional water for their late-season irrigation needs.
The Denver-based RJH Consultants, Inc., is overseeing the project for the Shell Valley Watershed Improvement District, and the engineer at the forefront of that planning, Kevin Mininger, visited the site earlier this week.
There’s been progress on several different fronts.  In June, the SVWID awarded the bid for Contract C, the construction of the transfer pipeline and diversion structure, to Mountain View Building, based in Sheridan.
