<br />VIII. DAMAGE ASSESSMENT <br /> <br />Community infrastructure and agriculturallantIs suffered much damage. Roads were <br />damaged, public and private bridges were washed out, water treatment plants were overwhelmed, <br />sewer treatment plants suffered erosion and utility lines were broken. Approximately 100 houses <br />and commercial building experienced water damage, most of it minor. Crop lands were inundated <br />and/or eroded. Tourist dollars were lost. There were significant damages to Colorado <br />recreational facilities and to fish populations. <br /> <br />In addition, the cool, wet spring weather pattern caused a major reduction in Colorado's <br />overall agricultural crop production. The Colorado Department of Agriculture estimates over a <br />20-30% reduction in yield from 1994. <br /> <br />Nearly all of the mountainous areas of Colorado, the mountain valleys of the Western <br />Slope, the San Luis Valley and the Front Range (South Platte and Arkansas River systems) <br />experienced varying degrees of flood damage during the spring 1995 flood season.
