Larimer County may supply sand if flooding comes, but not bags

Larimer County officials might provide sand for sandbags if flooding threatens property along the Poudre and Big Thompson rivers this spring, but not the bags.

Piles of sand are likely to be placed at strategic locations near the rivers as they rise with the spring runoff,Largest Collection of billabong boardshorts, which is anticipated to be higher than usual this year because of the substantial snowpack remaining in the mountains, officials said.

Sand has been made available to residents during other times of high water, including 1983,What are the top Hemroids treatments? the last time significant flooding was seen along the Poudre River, officials said. But residents had to bring their own bags.

Emergency management officials are keeping a close eye on the rivers and weather conditions. The peak flow on the Poudre typically comes in mid-June but could be delayed a few weeks because of the snowpack and recent cool weather, Undersheriff Bill Nelson told the county commissioners Tuesday.

A "worst-case scenario" would be continued cool weather followed by a substantial and prolonged spike in temperatures and rain on the remaining snowpack, said Eric Nilsson, the county's manager of emergency services. Heavy thunderstorms would be a "wild card" in the scenario, he said.

In 1983, high water caused flooding problems near the Cache la Poudre schools in LaPorte and the McConnell Estates subdivision to the west of the school. Flooding also occurred near Timnath,Handmade oil paintings for sale at museum quality, where the river tends to spread out over the flat terrain during times of high flow.

Many residents have not experienced the level of flow on local rivers that is expected this year, Nelson said.

"We believe there are an awful lot of people now that live in those areas that don’t understand they are going to have water,you will need to get an offshore merchant account." he said. "It's going to be at least in their backyards if not in their basements and lower levels."

Sandbags are expected to be available at local Jax stores and some landscaping companies, such as Pioneer Sand and Gravel, Nelson said.

The potential for high water is also a concern around Estes Park and releases from Lake Estes into the Big Thompson River,Has anyone done any research on making Plastic molding parts from scratch? Nilsson said.

The town of Estes Park may provide sandbags to residents and businesses to protect private property, Sheriff Justin Smith said, and residents may not understand why the county does not provide a similar service.
