CEO Jerry Forte announces retirement

Recently, CEO Jerry Forte announced his plans to retire on May 30, 2018. Forte, 63, has been with Utilities for 16 years.

"It's been a privilege to serve my hometown, work with such a dedicated Utilities Board, and lead a workforce that always goes the extra mile," said Forte. "Our future is bright."

Forte's commitment to utilities safety, leadership development and strategic planning has resulted in Utilities' close connection with the community, strong financial condition and excellent service reliability.

The Utilities Board has developed a leadership succession plan and City Council is expected to begin recruitment efforts soon. Chief Energy Services Officer Eric Tharp has been named acting CEO effective May 31.

April is National Safe Digging Month

An underground line is damaged once every nine minutes because someone didn't contact 811 before digging. Contacting 811 greatly reduces the risk of damaging underground utility lines, which could result in expensive repairs and even injury or death.

Call 811 or visit  colorado811.org at least three days before digging to have utility lines marked. It's safe, it's free and it's the law. Visit csu.org to learn more.
Putting utilities on the map

Interested in knowing where utilities work is being done? Our new geospatial public portal is an interactive web mapping environment that provides utility data on all non-sensitive four services and lets you print utilities maps for free.

Visit csu.org to access the map and learn more about what we're doing in your neighborhood and across the community to improve the reliability of our systems.

  • Slow down and obey the posted speed limits and construction signs.
  • Avoid using cell phones while driving.
  • Take alternate routes when possible.
  • Anticipate lane shifts and merge as directed.
  • Do not drive through barricades! They are there for everyone's safety.
