20 homes have been evacuated as a precaution as spring runoff floods and damages a road in a Kaysville neighborhood this morning.
Neighbors were placing rocks and construction boards along their property to try to channel the water to the middle of the road. Authorities believe only one home at the bottom of the neighborhood sustained some flood damage.Erickson said the evacuations were precautionary. Their biggest worry is the road will completely wash out and leave vehicles stranded at the homes and hinder future evacuation efforts, which could be necessary.
Residents originally thought the water may have been from a water main break, but they realized it was coming from the nearby spillway. Neighbors told KSL-TV that runoff usually goes into a culvert and then runs through a pipe under the street. The water broke a hole in the middle of their street.In Ogden, residents, public works crews and firefighters worked to divert flooding in the Douglas Street Trailhead area into canals and storm drains.Salt Lake City broke a record high on Tuesday, hitting 83 degrees. The previous mark of 80 degrees had stood since 1934.
Bountiful, Ogden, Kaysville - all areas where floodwaters are proving to be a rude awakening early on this Wednesday morning!
