    Colorado Springs Utilities Races to Build $470M Wastewater System for Eastside Growth

    0
    By Andrew Rogers on June 3, 2025 Infrastructure & Growth
    Major infrastructure upgrades are underway as Colorado Springs braces for rapid growth, with wastewater systems topping the priority list.

    The Colorado State Demography Office expects El Paso County’s population to grow by nearly 100,000 residents by 2030 and could very well surpass one million residents by 2050. With Colorado Springs being the county’s most populous city, the administration continues to find ways for growth to facilitate and support the expected headcount increase.

    The direction of the city’s growth is limited due to the mountains to the west and federal properties, including the U.S. Air Force Academy to the north and Fort Carson to the south — most of the city’s growth will be to the east.
