Annual spill of dam in Boulder expected soon
DENVER (KDVR) — After a good amount of rain along the Front Range in May, the Barker Dam in Boulder is expected to spill over in just a few days. Each year, the Barker Dam fills up as spring brings rainfall and melting snow and eventually spills over. 'Before peak stream flows occur at lower elevations, such as in the city of Boulder, mountain reservoirs must first fill and start spilling over,' the City of Boulder said in a press release. Denver weather: Sunny skies over weekend before showers next week With recent rainfall and increased snowmelt and runoff, the city said on Saturday that the Barker Reservoir is expected to spill over within the next week. The city urges residents and visitors to be cautious near the creek during the high flow period, which could last for several weeks. 'To provide a sense of scale, the volume of water that flows through Middle Boulder Creek each spring could fill the reservoir multiple times,' the city said. The spill is a normal occurrence that increases water flow in Boulder Creek. The city said it typically occurs around mid-May to late June, depending on the weather.
