Last week, contractors for the Fort Tuthill Utility Improvement Project began installing water line in the north section of Fort Tuthill County Park and along the FUTS Trail in that area. Work is expected to take a couple of weeks. FUTS Trail users will experience reroutes in this area and will be rerouted onto Purple Sage Road and an internal ADOT road within the park.
