Saturday and Sunday, strong thunderstorms led to more flooding in places like Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs.

In the case of Eagle Mountain, dozens of residents took to a social media community page with reports of how the storms impacted their homes, with some people saying high waters had spilled through window and door seals, pooled in basements and blanketed backyards.

City officials say the heaviest impact was in neighborhoods known as The Ranches, as well as along the north and west bench areas.

Tyler Maffitt, communication manager for Eagle Mountain, said crews were still performing cleanup from the previous storm when the new ones rolled in.

“Our Streets Department and Stormwater crews have spent their time performing a lot of debris cleanup. Debris removal also included some of the storm water pipe system,” Maffitt said in an email to the Daily Herald.

He says those efforts are ongoing throughout impacted areas to identify where improvements and possible solutions can be made so they are better prepared for future extreme weather events. “We want to ensure that these incidents are rare and impact the smallest number of residents possible,” Maffitt said.

In neighboring Saratoga Springs, residents also were still dealing with the aftermath of last week’s storm that left neighborhoods drenched with flood waters.

Spokesperson AnnElise Harrison said one area that saw significant impact was the Saratoga Springs development that sits along Utah Lake, where the rain’s intensity caused a stormwater drain to quickly back up.

“Because of the speed at which the rain started coming down, it actually washed some debris out of yards and blocked some stormwater drains, and so it started backing up,” Harrison explained.

Since then, the Saratoga Springs Public Works Department has been working to make sure stormwater systems throughout the city are free of any debris to minimize impacts from future storms. The city also is asking residents to watch for items that may impact a stormwater system from operating the way it’s supposed to.

The city has set up a self-serve sandbag-filling station at Patriot Park for residents to drive up, fill sandbags and take them to use at their property, while supplies last.

Eagle Mountain also is making sandbags available to those in need, among a host of other resources listed on the city’s website for incidents like a flood or other acts of nature.

“It’s hard any time residents experience damage to their property. The city is always here to help educate and provide sandbags so that when flooding occurs, residents can be prepared,” Maffitt said.

In the meantime, residents also are encouraged to take steps to secure their property in case of extreme weather.

“Make sure your rain gutters are clean and draining away from window wells. We also want to remind residents that landscaping should not drain toward the home,” Maffitt noted.
