flooding

We are seeing conditions improve and roads are beginning to re-open, however many in Weld County still remain flooded. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has now re-opened both directions of I-25 in all areas that were previously closed.

As we reported earlier, CDOT will be spending its entire $100 million emergency fund to repair the roads and bridges damaged by the flooding here in Northern Colorado. CDOT has recently announced that those contracts have been awarded to contractors and work will begin immediately.

Most City of Evans residents and business operators who were in the “no flush” zone now are allowed to flush toilets, wash their hands and shower, but some restrictions remain in effect until the Wastewater Treatment Plant is fully operational. Evans has been under a ‘no flush’ order for eight days.

The torrential rains have wreaked havoc in Northern Colorado and some businesses and schools have closed due to the flood water. We have compiled a list of business and school closures.

As the flood waters recede in Colorado, many residents have been forced to leave their homes, lost personal belongings and are without the bare necessities. You can help in many ways, find out how.
