At the end of April, two houses built by Edge Homes in Draper collapsed after sliding down a hill. Now, Edge homeowners in Herriman are raising concerns about the construction of their houses.
The wet Utah of 1983 is once again haunting longtime natives of this snow-packed state. Record snowfall is causing torrential speculation regarding history repeating itself once the weather consistently warms up. Will State Street in downtown Salt Lake City become a river again, or will it be far worse? <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2023/02/20/1983-downtown-salt-lake-turned/" target=" blank">In April 1983</a>, the city sandbagged 900 East from a conduit break to 1700 South, forcing water into a storm drain that later emptied into the “13th South River.” While the depth of the water in the sandbagged channel increased to more than 5 feet in some spots, the flowing water did not indicate that the runoff would ease anytime soon. State Street near Eagle Gate was a river with boardwalks and bridges interlaced over running water. Months of damage control and cleanup followed the soggiest spring in Utah’s modern history.
