Permanent Recreational Closure of Colorado Springs Reservoir
A health concern involving 1,000 lost dog toys has led to the permanent closure of the South Suburban Reservoir in Colorado Springs.
The raw drinking water reservoir is too small to dilute pollutants from dogs, prompting officials to shut it down due to health and safety concerns.
- The reservoir is part of the city's drinking water system, run by Colorado Springs Utilities.
- Off-leash dogs were previously allowed to play in the water, but this has caused management challenges and water quality issues.
"This decision was difficult, but necessary,"
The reservoir, built in 1932, will not reopen for recreation after ongoing dam repairs are completed.
