Decades of crucial infrastructure upgrades should help the city manage expected heavy runoff, says SLC Mayor Erin Mendenhall.
Last weekend the sounds of running water — trickling down gutters, flowing over rocks in City Creek and dripping off cars — suffused Salt Lake City as warmer temperatures finally graced the state after a long, gray and snowy winter.melting, Salt Lake City’s public works agencies are preparing to manage the flows, city officials said Monday as the temperatures climbed to 70 degrees., Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said as she led off a news conference in Memory Grove Park in Salt Lake City.
The debris basins and piping system upgrades built in the decades since should help prevent that build up from happening again. Catch basins are designed to collect debris along Salt Lake City's City Creek on Monday, April 10, 2023.“This was not the case 40 years ago when Utah Lake and the Great Salt Lake at that time were at historically high levels,” Mendenhall said. “Today both lakes have probably a tragic amount of capacity.”
