City crews then began to take fill from an old quarry in the canyon. McKnight estimates the water flow down the canyon has already exceeded last years peak, but cannot tell for sure. A flow gauge used last year proved to be faulty. Another gauge has been installed this year, however, and as of Saturday night, the flow was 620 second Nephi flooding in getting the design approved, it was never built. Consequently, water in the Old Hollow contains large amounts of gravel, and the channel which was cleaned of gravel from last year's siege with the flood waters is fillwith ing up gravel again. "At the beginning of the flood season, the Hollow had been excavated so it would carry the amount of water we would get in a flood like this, but the gravel is stacking up in the bottom of the Hollow and decreasing its water carrying capacity, says McKnight. City crews have been working double shifts to keep the channel clear, but were losing the battle. The city has now enlisted the aid of the Utah National Guard to help remove the gravel. Bulldozers belonging to a Springville National Guard detachment began work on the project Wednesday.

He said there is enough water pouring from the canyon to fill an empty Chicken Creek Reservoir in five days. Water in the reservoir is now flowing over the top of the dam.
