SUMMIT COUNTY — Denver Water has until 2 p.m. today to remove barriers on Dillon Dam Road, according to a public-safety notice issued Tuesday.
The Summit County Sheriff’s Office called for immediate removal of the barriers erected July 8 and said the county could issue criminal fire-code charges if the road is still closed this afternoon, according to a statement from Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue.
Denver Water said, “We received the violation notice from Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue and, as it is a legal notice, we will respond . . . upon reviewing it.”
Summit County officials were not consulted before Denver Water closed the 1-mile stretch across the dam for safety reasons. Denver Water said studies show it could be a terrorist target. Joey Bunch, The Denver Post
