NORTH OGDEN — Orton Park was overflowing Friday as city leaders said the detention basin was functioning properly. Neighbors arrived with paddle boards, pets and kayaks, to take advantage of the unique conditions.
The city announced on Friday that warm temperatures and runoff waters had filled the park to capacity and the pond was overflowing near 600 East and running down 2050 North. He said water flowing over the sidewalk and rocks at the northwest corner of the park was exactly what was supposed to happen under these circumstances.
The city, he said, is monitoring nine different potential trouble spots around the city by the hour, but he expressed optimism, with the current weather pattern, that the area could avoid further troubles.
