SANDY, Utah — With the rising potential for flooding in the coming days, Sandy City Mayor Monica Zoltanski issued an emergency declaration Wednesday to secure needed resources. The state of emergency declaration is effective for the city's primary waterways, including Little Cottonwood Creek, Dry Creek from Bell Canyon through Dimple Dell, Little Willow Creek, and Big Willow Creek. While much of Utah has been able to avoid widespread snowmelt flooding this spring, the potential still remains for areas like Sandy located near larger creeks that bring water from the mountains.
