MILLCREEK Heavy rains over the weekend helped clear up a stream that was contaminated by a concrete spill in Millcreek last week, state environmental officials said Monday.
The Utah Department of Environmental Quality said the issue at Mill Creek is now resolved after a mixture of cleanup efforts and rain. The agency lifted its recommendations that people or pets avoid the water.
Erica Gattis, director of the Utah Division of Water Quality, told KSL NewsRadio that 60 50-gallon bags of potentially contaminated material were removed from the creek through the help of a few dozen people from multiple state, county and local agencies. At the same time, the National Weather Service reported that 1.35 inches of rain fell at I-215 at Olympus Cove near the site of the concrete spill Sunday and Monday. That also helped clear up the stream.
