FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Record snowpack levels and the anticipation of a heavy spring runoff has Larimer County officials preparing for the flood season.
However, authorities there say they’ll provide sand to residents in flood prone areas, but residents will have to supply their own bangs.
The Fort Collins Coloradoan reported Wednesday that piles of sand will be strategically placed on land near the Poudre and Big Thompson rivers.
Officials say the peak runoff typically comes in the middle of June, but it might be delayed this year because of the recent cool weather and additional snowpack. Snow storms are expected to dump up to 18 inches of snow in the northern mountains this week.
