Dam in river near First Street bridge sparks public ire
A Canon City reader laments a dam built in the river above First Street bridge. The letter argues the dam floods homes, diverts water from the mill ditch and city waterworks ditch, and threatens riprap along the south riverbank. The writer urges city officials to remove the dam or extend the ditch head gates to restore flow and protect property.
