Feature: Flood Prevention Project

   After the Hildale flood of September, 2015, the Governor of the State of Utah declared a state-of-emergency for the town. Flood control is the major operation, helping the town recover from the destruction the water caused and taking preventive measures against future floods. Located off of Utah Avenue and Oak Street is the newest project under construction. Starting at the first of March: Machinery cleared trees, dug and hauled away dirt, and brought in loads of granite to line the sides of the containment pond.







    Here are the shots I took of the machinery in action. I tried to get some pictures at dusk when they had stopped working for the night, but sadly my pictures didn't turn out.
