High temperatures in early June brought rapid snow melt that had Willow Creek running full and swift. A portion of the street in front of Corner Canyon High School flooded, but there were no reports of flooded homes in the Willow Creek neighborhood or any other areas of the city. “The only flooding report I got related to the runoff was when the county shut the flow down temporarily to allow them to clean out…The detention basin off Pioneer Road on the east side of town filled up rather quickly and got into yards and sheds,” Draper Mayor Troy Walker said. λ
