Clear Creek’s Orange Water Mystery Solved: Blocked Sediment Pond the Culprit

On Tuesday, discolored water was flowing down Clear Creek. The county launched an investigation to determine the cause of the unusual orange color of the creek. After a thorough examination, it was discovered that a “blocked sediment pond” was responsible for the discoloration.

Fortunately, environmental health officials from Clear Creek County were able to quickly identify the source of the problem and confirm that it was not a public health issue. They reassured the public that the orange color would dissipate shortly and that there was no need to be concerned.

Thanks to the efficient management of Clear Creek County, it was expected that the discolored water flowing down the creek would soon return to its natural state. The prompt response and investigation by the county helped address the issue and ensure the safety of both the community and environment.
