Vandals in Northglenn, Colorado, recently damaged flow-control gates, diverting water away from the city for two days. City employees reported a water theft after seeing a sudden and significant drop in water.
The damage to the gates will cost $50,000 to repair, but the water loss amounts to much more, according to Northglenn city spokesperson Diana Wilson. “Hundreds of thousands of dollars if not a million, so to us very precious,” Wilson told CBS Colorado.The sheriff’s department is investigating this crime, along with a similar crime from 2019, and exploring eco-terrorism as a possible motive.
