SALT LAKE CITY — "Significant" snowpack has prompted city and county officials to order a controlled release of water from reservoirs in Parleys Canyon on Tuesday, citing flood risks in the area.
"It is important for our teams to be proactive in anticipation of this year's high spring runoff," Laura Briefer, director of the Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities, said in a statement. "We ask residents to please be careful around creeks and rivers," Kade Moncur, director of Salt Lake County Flood Control, said, adding that the water in the creeks will be cold and swift, which is why people should be careful and make sure their children or pets don't get too close to the water.
