We are off to a very wet spring; with more snow and rain coming to the mountains, creeks and rivers are going to be running high. Recent warm temperatures, combined with record snowfall and now rain is causing snow to melt fast and runoff to begin early.  Please use caution around creeks and rivers. If you live near a creek, large irrigation ditch or along a river, please take the opportunity now to fortify your property against high water! High runoff is forecasted this year which can cause property damage if you are not prepared.

Here is an interactive map to see if your property is in / near potential flood areas:
