Glenwood Springs\u2019 officials continue to ask residents and visitors to use caution particularly around river access points within the city\u2019s numerous parks.<\/p>\n

Following Sunday\u2019s press release, which warned the public \u201cto be safe around high water\u201d and to not utilize the Roaring Fork River for \u201ccasual swimming,\u201d the city has placed barriers and warning signage in place where necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday we put out that public service announcement and just looked at water levels today, the average discharge over a 50 year period is about 4,000 cubic feet per second (CFS) and right now we are at about 7,000 CFS,\u201d City Engineer Terri Partch said in an interview Monday of the Roaring Fork River, which continues to run at a rate between 3,000 and 4,000 CFS higher than normal. \u201cUntil that comes back down to being much closer to normal and the water velocity slows down we will keep all of those [warning] signs out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

One particular area of concern for city staff was that of Veltus Park.<\/p>\n

Located at the corner of Midland Avenue and Eighth Street along the Roaring Fork River, city staff has put in place barricades and warning signage near the popular park\u2019s river access points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really want our residents and visitors to not go around barricades and to pay attention to signage for their safety,\u201d added Glenwood Springs City Manager Debra Figueroa.<\/p>\n
