LEHI, Utah (KUTV) — A Lehi family is facing property damage from recent flash flooding and believes a poorly maintained catch basin above their home is the cause.

This is just one of several challenges they face.

Carson Hardman, who lives at the corner of 2100 North and Redwood Road and runs a business next door, captured video of his driveway being washed away by floodwaters during the last storm.

“If you look into the pen, you can see all the silt and mud from above,” Hardman said.

He explained that this was the second time their road had been destroyed by flooding.

The catch basin, located above their property in a new subdivision in Saratoga Springs, is owned by the subdivision’s homeowners association, according to a city spokesman.

Hardman’s grandmother, Lora, emphasized that the original design and approval of the basin and drainage systems were done by Saratoga Springs. Lora and her husband have owned land in the area for nearly 50 years and are deeply concerned about both the flood damage and another pressing issue: water quality.

For two weeks in mid-August, muddy water came out of the faucets in Carson’s home and business.

Lora suspects that the cause is ongoing work by UDOT around the well that supplies them with water.

While the Hardmans understand the need for housing and highway expansion, they feel that these projects come at their expense.

“We have contacted our lawyer,” Lora said when asked about her next steps.

The family has contacted UDOT for help with the water issue, and UDOT has confirmed that they are investigating the case. They have also contacted the developer to find out who is responsible for securing the catch basin.
