About 40 home remain under voluntary evacuation in Sugar House as flooding continues.
Earlier on Wednesday, officials closed Wasatch Hollow Park due to flooding. The park is intended to hold large bodies of water to help deal with flooding, but with the runoff coming from the mountains, it couldn't keep up. On Wednesday morning, the water flooded the entire park and went onto 1700 South.
"Just the sheer amount of water is pretty unbelievable right now, so we are doing everything we can to make sure we can keep the system flowing correctly and make sure that it has the least amount of impact on the surrounding homes in this area," said Cade Moncur, division director of Salt Lake County Flood Control.the city's utility department and county's flood control crews had worked all day to mitigate the flooding near the park — although the water was still high.
