A small town north of Denver went without water for most of the weekend and it’s not clear why.

About 6,000 in the town of Milliken were left without water for about 10 hours over the weekend.

Public works director Mike Woodruff said the town lost 750 thousand to 1 million gallons of water but crews could not locate a water line break or other reason for the missing water.

Water was restored to most residents by Sunday afternoon.

Milliken is about 40 miles north of Denver along Colorado 60, west of interstate 25.
