DRAPER, Utah — Draper City had to extend an emergency water shut off into a second day after crews encountered complications while repairing a water line leak.
The shut-off initially began around 4:45 p.m. Friday afternoon in the area of 11573 South 700 West, with the repair initially estimated to take between 8 to 10 hours, leaving residents in the area without water.
Then, just before 9:00 a.m. Saturday morning, Draper City announced on social media that the shut-off would be extended, stating that while crews had worked the whole night, they "ran into unexpected complications."
Water service was restored just after noon. Draper City said parts of the road that had to be excavated during the process have been patched, or covered with steel plates. Permanent paving is expected to take place within the next week, dependent on weather.
