Tap Into The Heat Beneath Your Feet
Join Ruby Hill’s neighborhood geothermal demonstration project for efficient, year‑round comfort.
Notice:
Beginning the week of October 19th through October 30th, Xcel Energy will be drilling a geothermal test borehole at the Keystone Church (formerly The Denver Church) as part of the Ruby Hill Utility Thermal Energy Network (UTEN) demonstration project. Drilling and related activities are expected to last approximately 2 weeks. We will update this page as the schedule changes.
During this work, residents may notice:
• Drilling equipment operating during weekday business hours
• Intermittent construction-related activity
• Periodic equipment noise associated with drilling operations
We expect this activity to have minimal impact on nearby residents and businesses.
