With parts of Utah already experiencing flooding issues from the snow melt, officials say runoff in certain areas is actually changing the landscape of the state.
OGDEN, Utah —
The new waterways that have seemingly sprung up out of nowhere add more to the plate of city officials who are attempting to mitigate potential disaster. This year's massive snow totals were a heads up to officials that spring flooding was not only possible, but expected. While the Ogden and Weber rivers both appear to be near their peaks, the city says it is coordinating with water companies that are raising levels and will continue to monitor the situation."We have rapid response teams in place that are comprised of fire, police and public works," explained Farr."We're all working together as first responders to be able to try and get ahead of this situation before we have property damage in people's homes.
