Eagle Mtn: Flooding From Recent Thunderstorm

Residents are cleaning up and assessing the damage from floods in Eagle Mountain over the weekend that left sinkholes, a river of mud and pools of water in home basements.

The floods were a result of an intense thunderstorm Sunday night that had Eagle Mountain residents scrambling to prevent water from entering homes. Thunder, lightning, hail and rain struck Eagle Mountain at around 6 p.m. The storm lasted less than an hour, but the cleanup is expected to take days.-Fox13now.com

No More Water Shortages in Eagle Mtn.

"For the past two summers, catastrophic water-well failures have created water shortages in Eagle Mountain, much to the chagrin of residents.

This summer, the city wants residents to know that $5 million worth of new backup wells and storage tanks are in place. So while in years past the city has been forced to let grass and landscaping turn brown in parks and medians, those kinds of shortages are now a thing of the past, said city manager John Hendrickson on Wednesday." -Daily Herald
