Coloradans will be spending time on the water over the long Fourth of July holiday weekend. That includes Clear Creek in Jefferson County, where officials just lifted water restrictions on Monday.
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. —
Jefferson County put the restrictions in place on Jun. 1 because of swift-moving water and high water levels due to a combination of an extended snow runoff and higher-than-usual precipitation amounts over the past several weeks."It was just too dangerous to have people swimming and quite honestly, the temperatures were putting people at risk of hypothermia," said Kasey Beal, the City of Golden's fire chief."We just want everybody to be using their best judgment.
"There's been a lot of rainfall and the snowfall melting. So it's kind of nice that they pay attention to those things," Foxen said. "Just because we say it's safe to enter doesn't mean it's very safe for all levels of experience," said Beal."We always encourage no alcohol use and still be very protective of children that are with you."It's also important to remember your life vests, helmets and proper water shoes, the fire chief said.He said they're also keeping a close eye on the possibility of storms this week.
