Leak Discovered In Reservoir Possibly Contributing To Flooded Basements

Forty-three days ago 17 homes in Ogden were flooded and the water has yet to stop. Jessica Smith said she’s pumped 500 to 600 gallons of water from her basement since the flooding started. And now she may finally have an answer for why. “I don’t believe we’re the primary source, groundwater is the primary source, but we very well could be adding to it,” said Terel Grimley, general manager for Pine View Water Systems. Officials drained a reservoir above the Smith’s home on Monday and found a small depression that was leaking water.
