When it rains in Bountiful it flows, a small river that is right down 500 South.
It seems that whenever it rains in Bountiful our storm and flood drainage system overflows and cannot handle storm activity effectively as is obvious from the photos above and below of this small lake on 5oo South and 500 West.
During the last rain storm the force of the water running down Bountiful Hills Drive (the street I live on) had more than enough force to sweep a large child away.
Not only am I concerned for the safety of our residents, but I am also concerned as to the long term erosion damage that is occurring to our roads and property due to a storm and flood drainage system that is incapable of handling what I see as a normal Fall rainstorm.
Rivers can carve canyons and what seems to happen every time it rains in Bountiful is a that a River runs through it.
