The recent storm has magnified concerns over clean water access for the city of Stockton.
STOCKTON, Tooele County — It has been a week of seemingly nonstop cleanup.But for all the efforts to keep Soldier Canyon Road near Stockton open for recreationists, it is the recent work done near the water treatment plant along the road that really kept the small city going.One of those projects may have helped during the storms.
Especially with what happened after the Jacob City wildfire last summer when the next rainstorm after the fire flooded the area and got into both buildings."Our generator malfunctioned because of the wiring, it burned up because of the fire impact and so they brought in an emergency generator to help run the well," Meli said. "It created a big problem for us with the water."
"That's the thing in Stockton," Meli said. "If something happens to our well, then we're out of water. So, then we'll have to do something to haul water in. That's not cheap."
