Wastewater Collections
The City of Fruita maintains a growing collections system consisting of over 70 miles of sewer lines and eight sewer pump stations. This program includes a robust cleaning and inspection program that help prevent more costly maintenance operations and reduces the amount of sewer backups. The City of Fruita operates two combination vacuum/jetting cleaner trucks and one inspection camera van. The combination cleaner trucks clean the entire collection system over a two year period and then repeat the process. The inspection camera van visually inspects sewer lines as a part of new installation approval and routine maintenance of the entire collections system on a three year rotation. Reports from the camera inspection are linked into a data base and cross referenced for future projects with a numerical score to aide in utilization of repair scheduling with other departments to reduce costs. The City of Fruita operates a total of eight sewage pump stations located throughout different parts of the City. These stations pump the collected sewage into the City’s Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Troubling problems dealing with sewer mains and service lines come from nature, age, and improper use of the collections system. Plants and trees cause the majority of homeowner’s problems due to roots in the service line, which prevents the correct drainage into the sewer main. The age and type of sewer or service line can also play a big part of correct operation. Older homes and parts of town can have different types of sewer pipe material. A common type of material used is called Orangeburg, which is very similar to tar paper used for roofing. This material only has a certain life span and natural age can cause failure and blockages. FOGS: Fats, Oils, and Grease not only create havoc on homeowners, it is the leading cost of maintenance to the City. FOGS lines the inside of the pipe reduce the overall diameter and restricts the flow. The longer FOGS are introduced into the collection system the greater the challenge to clean and remove. Grease attaches to everything it touches, causing minor issues to become larger problems quickly.
Proper use of service lines and the City’s collection system highly depends upon homeowner’s. Many items are introduced into the collection system which not only create maintenance problems but are also hazardous to the Operation and Maintenance personnel and the environment.
The following page provides some pictures outlining responsibilities and common problems with sewer mains and homeowner's service lines:

Purpose:
The City of Fruita is supportive of providing and maintaining sidewalks to a level of service that considers the safety and quality of life for Fruita residents and visitors.
The Town of Fruita acquired the property at 900 Kiefer Avenue in 1980 for storage and use as a maintenance yard. A 2,250-square foot shop was then constructed in 1997 with multiple remodels and expansions over the years. As the City of Fruita continued to grow, so did the demand for maintenance activities and storage. In 2014, the City of Fruita acquired an additional 3.5 acres of property adjoining this location from Mesa County.
The City of Fruita is seeking proposals from qualified and eligible banking institutions to provide various banking services.
City Utilities
The City of Fruita provides sewer, trash, and recycling services to most city residents. Irrigation services are provided by the City of Fruita in certain areas of the City. Bills for services are mailed out on a monthly basis around the 15th of each month for the prior month of service and are due on the 5th of the following month. Additional information, including charges for utility services, can be found on the following links and supporting documents.
If a property owner desires to have the bill for utility services sent to a rentor, the property owner must notify the City and complete the Owner's Authorization for Rental Property. Failure to notify the City that a rentor has occupied the property may subject the owner to a penalty of fifty dollars ($50). This agreement authorizes the City to bill the Rentor named in the Agreement. The authorization by a property owner to bill a rentor does not relieve the property owner from responsibility for payment of charges. If the rentor does not pay the monthly bill for services, the City may
The Engineering Division reviews new development applications for general stormwater issues, such as drainage conveyance and detention/retention pond adequacy, and works closely with other local drainage authorities such as the 5-2-1 Drainage Authority and the Grand Valley Drainage District to maintain current water quality standards and address flooding.

The Fruita Civic Center building was constructed in 1912 as a school building and became known as the Fruita Central School. The building was expanded in 1935 with additions to both the north and south sides of the building by the Works Progress Administration. The building became simply known as Fruita Elementary School by the time most of the then-existing school districts in Mesa County voted to unite in a single district in 1951. The new district was named Mesa County School District 51 after the year it was founded.
In 1981, the building at the corner of Mesa St. and McCune Avenue was built and used as the Fruita Town Hall until the mid 90’s when most of the government offices moved to the Civic Center at 325 E. Aspen Avenue. Police staff continued to use the half of the Town Hall building while the other half was used as a community room for meeting, events, and recreation programs. There was a lot of action happening in the 5,834-square foot building and they quickly outgrew the space.
The City of Fruita contracts with Waste Management (WM) to provide curbside trash and recycling (optional) services to Fruita residents. Trash is picked up on a weekly basis and recycling is picked up on a bi-weekly basis.

Welcome to Fruita. I love Fruita! You may be thinking, “of course he would say that. He is the City Manager after all.” Yes, this is true, but it is not the reason. I have relocated 15 times in my life (son of an Army officer), and never have I had the type of experience as I have had relocating to Fruita, Colorado in the fall of 2014.

The City of Fruita (Owner) recently completed the construction of a 22,650
square foot City Shops building located at 900 Kiefer Avenue. This new building
tied into the existing 9,960 square foot existing shop facilities and has allowed
the City to consolidate much of the equipment and storage needs for Public
Works & Parks to this site. However, due to budget constraints, this completed
first phase of construction did not include all interior finishes in the building to
meet the staffing needs.

Fruita is now considered by many to be one of the premier mountain biking destinations in Colorado, with the perfect combinations of terrain to challenge riders of all skill levels and abilities. Take a leisurely ride on the 18 Road Trails managed by BLM and just soak up the peaceful Colorado beauty. Or go for it all out—hit the BLM Kokopelli trails, with steep climbs, hair-raising switchbacks, intense downhills, and technical challenges that test the best. There are so many choices, true believers will most likely want to experience all the trails, each for its own unique value.
The BLM Kokopelli trail travels a scenic and circuitous route through the desert from Loma, Colorado to Moab, Utah. It's about 150 miles of mountain biking on terrain varying from technical single track to pavement, but the majority of the trail is on old jeep roads.
Taking the furthest west trail in the networks, the Zippity Loop feels a little more remote than the other riding in the BLM 18 Road area. Because most people ride this one way (clockwise), and there are fewer intersections with other trails, you might not see many other riders.
Much of the ride is high up on ridges and the scenery is a little more expansive on this ride compared to others in the area.
Loop ride from the main Tabeguache trail parking lot on Monument Road utilizing Eagle's Tail, Pet-e-Kes , Prenup trails to access Gunny Loop and Holy Bucket, Holy Cross, and Curt's Lane trails to return to the trailhead.
The Western Rim trail is one of the highlights of the area: over 6 miles of fast, scenic single track winding around rim above the Colorado River. The BLM Rabbit Valley 2 trail is not difficult, but makes for a good 3-4 loop ride.
While all types of outdoor adventures exist in Fruita, Colorado, there’s truly nothing like escaping into the Colorado wilderness on one of the many hikes in this region. With incredibly diverse terrain and beautiful views of the surrounding Colorado Rockies, Fruita has established itself as one of the premiere hiking destinations in Colorado. Plan a hike through the Mccinnis Canyons or Colorado National Monument, and take in the gorgeous scenery and local wildlife.
A loop trail through the 360-acre Fruita Paleontological Area features interpretive signs describing the landscape as it existed 150 million years ago and the dinosaurs and other Jurassic vertebrates that roamed there. This world-class fossil site contains a prolific record of Jurassic microvertebrates exposed in deeply dissected Morrison badlands.
In October 2000, Congress designated the 123,430 acre McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area (MCNCA). This legislation provides for the protection of the NCA’s nationally significant resources for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The National Landscape Conservation System, of which MCNCA is a part, adds to these special designations by focusing on the opportunities and management needs of BLM’s national treasures.

The Colorado Riverfront Commission has opened the 8 mile long Monument View Section of the Colorado Riverfront Trail for pedestrians and bicyclists. The Grand Opening of this section of trail was held on September 5, 2014.
As many residents know, the City of Fruita has been actively working with Mesa County and other partners to complete the remaining portions of the Colorado Riverfront Trail as funding has become available. The City of Fruita is excited to announce that the Colorado Riverfront Trail has been designated as a priority trail in 2016 as part of Governor Hickenlooper's "Colorado the Beautiful" initiative.

Irrigation water will be available by April 16th. Now would be a good time to close valves on pumps.
Just a reminder, the City of Fruita recommends the following watering schedule for homeowners with City Irrigation Water:
Even numbered addresses: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
Odd numbered addresses: Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
The Public Works Department utilizes every Monday as a regularly scheduled maintenance day to flush lines and make repairs to the irrigation system.
The purpose of the Pre-Application meeting is to create an understanding between the Planning & Development Department and the applicant. Pre-Application meetings are meant to help minimize development-planning costs and avoid misunderstandings. The applicant must submit a Pre-Application/Pre-Consultation meeting request in Cloudpermit. This will allow the City to give feedback on the selected land development application type.
There are a variety of irrigation systems throughout the City that provide non-potable irrigation water to properties in the City’s service area. These systems consist of a combination of open ditches, piped gravity systems, and pressurized irrigation systems.

The City of Fruita is accepting sealed bids for the 2018 Highway 6 Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. This project consists of the installation of approximately 4,700 lineal feet of sanitary sewer gravity main, sewer manholes and a service road. Most of the main line will be installed by both open-cut and trenchless methods through a City of Fruita right-of-way between the Union Pacific Railroad and I-70. At the eastern end of the project, the new sewer will be installed through trenchless methods beneath the railroad, Highway 6 & 50 and the Independent Ranchman’s canal.
This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is intended to provide an opportunity for interested developers to demonstrate their capability to develop a project located at the Lagoon property. The Lagoon property is located at the west end of Raptor Road and is bounded by I-70 on the north, the Colorado River & Little Salt Wash on the west, the James M. Robb Colorado River State Park to the south, and commercial land uses to the east. In 2017, the City Council worked with a firm to create a conceptual plan.
The Fruita City Council will take a tour of Fruita's mountain water properties. They will meet at the Fruita Community Center at 3:00 pm before leaving for the tour.
The City of Fruita is requesting proposals from a qualified consultant or group of consultants to prepare an updated rate study for the City's wastewater fund. The intent of the rate study is to independently analyze wastewater user charges, evaluate bill structure alternatives, and make recommendations for opportunities to provide a fair and equitable bill structure for all users.

Internal Wayfinding Trails in the City of Fruita
Funded by a grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation, the City of Fruita recently created four wayfinding routes throughout town to help guide pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Many maps have been installed, and pavement markings along the routes have also been installed to help guide users along each route. The routes were created with pedestrian and bicycle safety in mind. The routes use off-street trails and roads with wide shoulders or sidewalks, as much as possible.

Hi, I’m Tracy Durden. I was born and raised in Texas (so I say “y’all” a lot) where I met my husband. We’ve been married since 1999 and have three amazing kids. We moved to Fruita in 2008 and I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
My personal fitness journey began when I found myself unhappy and overweight. I decided it was time to make some changes and I haven’t looked back since. Fitness isn’t just about being physically fit, it is also about being mentally fit , and sometimes that is the hardest part.
My name is Lindsey Henslee. I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. I relocated to Boulder, CO in 2014 and now I reside in the beautiful Grand Valley of the Western Slope. I wanted to indulge in all the outdoor activities that the beautiful Rocky Mountains have to offer.
The Apato/Orange Route is a short route on the southside of Fruita (south of Interstate 70), and uses the Colorado Riverfront Trail and the trail in the state park to help users along the route. Starting near the lagoon property, users can head west on the trail connection to the Colorado Riverfront Trail. From there, users can use the Riverfront Trail to go through the state park and work their way back to Highway 340.
Stegosaurus/Blue Route
The Blue/Stegosaurus includes access to Circle Park, Fruita Monument High School and the Fruita 8/9, downtown Fruita, and more. Starting in downtown, the Blue Route brings users along the wide sidewalk on Highway 6&50, before heading north on Pine Street before turning right on Wildcat Way (or J Road), and then uses the trail along 18.5 Road, which is a combination of sidewalk and off-street trails. The route takes users north until Aspen Street, and then heads west to Circle Park.

In August of 2020 the final four sculptures of a total of six sculptures were installed on the Hwy 340 Roundabouts project here in Fruita. We are thrilled for this project to be complete as it has been several years in the making. The project was a direct result of the fundraising efforts of the Fruita Arts and Culture Board. Thank you to local artist Jeff Bates for creating the sculptures and every individual and business that donated to the project. All of the sculptures were paid for with private donations. Thank you to everyone who helped this long-envisioned dream become a reality!
“Jumbo” is the name of the horse and rider. A ton and a half of recycled metal pieces make up the sculpture, and the horse’s bit is made from an old draft horse headstall with the name “Jumbo” imprinted on the brass buckles. Made from old local farm equipment, car parts, and tools, the sculpture is just over 12 feet tall, and if the cowboy could step off the horse, he would be 9 feet tall. Jumbo represents the equestrian interests of the area from settlers, cowboys, cattleman, ranchers, barrel racers, rodeo fans, and the all the farmers who have raised the hay to feed generations of hors
The rider of the bicycle is overlooking the interstate. His bicycle is life and a half size, with tires 4 feet tall. With a total weight of over 1,000 lbs. part coming from hand fabricated frame, tires and wheels. The rest coming from the 25 recycled bicycles that make up the body of the rider. Many vintage parts, and kid’s bikes, were welded together to put the shape in the athletic form of the mountain bike rider. Under his helmet you find his chrome goggles, goatee, and bicycle chains that make up the dreadlocks on his back.
The Tractor is based on an early 1930s, tractor from the area. A few changes have been made to make it more representative of all of the tractors from the area, in the early years.
“Ruby” is the hiker, who stands near the bicycle. She stands a little over 8 feet tall and is made from scrap metal, including a car hood that makes up her shirt. Ruby’s face is hand formed and shaped, but the majority of her body is made from used rebar, and all-thread to make up her shapely curves. Her feet are about the size of a man’s size 14 boot.
The Apple tree Sculpture is a tribute to William Edgar Pabor who was the first man to recognize the possibility of fruit production in the Grand Valley, and in 1883, he planted apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, and grapes near Fruita. This laid the groundwork for the agricultural industry all around Fruita.
Rio is the name of the pilot of the kayak. His vessel is made of a bumper from a Chevy van. The “water” is made from car parts and chrome. Rio is scraps of stainless steel, and his paddle is over 10 feet long.

The City of Fruita owns four reservoirs on Pinion Mesa and maintains the over 600 acre-feet of water rights associated with them. These water rights were historically (prior to 1980) used to supply domestic water to the City of Fruita.
About the Project
Reed Park is located in the heart of Fruita and was established in 1984. Aside from the programmed activities of Little Salt Wash, Reed Park is the heaviest-used park in Fruita. Reed Park has not undergone any significant improvements since being established. The location of Reed Park and the aged condition of many of the existing amenities create an opportunity for a valuable upgrade to the park's portfolio.
Join the Fruita Building Division at Base Camp Provisions (155 N. Mulberry Street) on Thursday, February 9 anytime from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. to meet the team, ask questions, and learn more about the new process. The team will also host additional meet ups throughout the year at various locations.
Starting in 2023, the City of Fruita will bring building services in-house to create a one-stop process for all development in the City limits of Fruita rather than contracting these services with Mesa County. This transition of services will concentrate Fruita’s efforts while bringing services closer to the individuals and businesses the City of Fruita serves.
