Authorities have issued a “stay out” advisory for downstream communities including Avondale, Boone, Fowler, Manzanola, Rocky Ford, Swink, La Junta, and Las Animas through Monday, August 31, 2026, warning of harmful bacteria that threaten both aquatic life and public health — so no fishing, kayaking, or swimming until then.
