Residents warned to be cautious around retention ponds

Daily rainfall continues to wreak havoc on the region as roadways are ooded, sinkholes are forming and now the Douglas County Sheri ’s O ce is warning residents to beware of over owing retention ponds.

In a press release on June 16 evening, o cials said Douglas County is experiencing above-average rainfall in June and the ground is saturated.

According to the National Weather Service, the Denver metro area usually has an average of just under two inches of rain in all of June. is year, rain showers beat that average in the month’s rst ve days.

May was also a wet month this year, with the weather service reporting more than ve inches, compared to 2.59 inches in May last year.

According to the news release, the sheri ’s o ce said retention ponds, located throughout the Douglas County, are designed both for water quality treatment and ood control. Both those that are normally dry and those that hold water all year round are currently full. e sheri ’s o ce said normally retention ponds do not pose a threat, but with the continued rainfall, they can present a dangerous hazard and drowning risk, particularly to children. e news release said retention ponds are currently dangerous because of the following reasons.

• Retention ponds often have steep sides, which makes climbing out of them di cult.

• Retention ponds and outlet culverts may have strong currents as the water drains from them – especially if protective bars or grating is built close to the drain.

• e suction e ect created by the in ow and out ow structures of retention ponds can unexpectedly pull children under the water, making it extremely di cult for them to escape without immediate assistance.
