WELD COUNTY, Colo. — Weld County officials said heavy rain caused an irrigation canal to overflow, flooding roads and yards near Fort Lupton Saturday.

Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company, which owns the canal, has not released a public statement regarding the flooding.
The Weld County Office of Emergency Management, the agency handling the response, said a heavy amount of rain caused a rapid rise in water levels, causing several adjacent yards to flood.
