The City of
Fruita
maintains an active sidewalk replacement program designed to assist
Homeowners and Homeowner Associations with replacement of unsafe, cracked and
deteriorating sidewalks. The
program is available through the Public Works Department.
If a
sidewalk appears to be unsafe or has heaved and is unsafe as determined by a
Public Works Department
representative, arrangements can be made by the Homeowner or Association to
have the side walk replaced and the City of Fruita will reimburse the
Homeowner or Association for 80 % of the cost of replacement. Click here for the

Irrigation Water:
Grand Valley Irrigation Co. 242-2762 & City
of Fruita 858-9558The City of Fruita along with 90 % of the entire
Grand Valley area has the fortune to have untreated water available to water
their landscaping. This is an envious commodity only dreamed about by most
other cities. Just think of the enormous amount of cost saved by not using
treated water to keep the Fruita area green and beautiful. The entire City of
Fruita uses irrigation water that comes primarily from the Grand Valley
Irrigation Company. The City distributes approximately 350
shares(2,358,000gallons per day) during the summer of untreated water and
distributes that water to citizens just for watering lawns, trees, and
flowers. At the present that equals 69 taps. Numerous subdivisions within the
City also rent the transportation system for their irrigation water used in
their private irrigation system.
