COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — It’s just been a little more than a month since city crews stopped water flowing from an underground spring on Dublin Boulevard that was an ice and splash hazard for drivers.
Now, a similar problem has developed at the intersection of Rockrimmon Boulevard and Vindicator Drive.
City officials and Colorado Springs Utilities confirm that water from a broken main in a nearby apartment complex parking lot is flowing downhill and across part of the intersection.
A driver contacted KRDO 13’s The Road Warrior about the matter two days ago, and said that the water has been freezing overnight for the past two weeks.
“I slide through there every day on my way to work,” he said via text.
The Road Warrior found the water flowing on Monday while surveying the area, but it froze overnight Tuesday as temperatures fell into single digits.
Officials said that the water is coming from the broken main at the Eagle Ridge Apartments on Vindicator; it has left a trail of ice and water through part of the parking lot, under a sidewalk drain, down the street gutter and across the intersection before it enters a storm drain downhill on Rockrimmon.
