Gasoline in city sewer lines forced the evacuation of four businesses in West Valley City Thursday. At 3:15 p.m., the West Valley Fire Dept, was alerted by a phone call from Crown Burgers, 2684 So. 3200 West, reporting that a strong odor of gasoline had been detected in the establishment. As fire vehicles arrived at the scene, dispatchers received 10 more calls in rapid succession, also from businesses in the vicinity. The department then contacted Mountain Fuel for assistance. traced the Fire personnel problem at Crown Burgers to a floor drain in the bathroom. As a result, they summoned the Granger-Hunte- r Improvement District to determine pipeline layouts and direction of flow in the sewer system. A check of every business in the area resulted in a decision to immediately close four establishments seeming to be most adversely affected. All four reopened for business the next morning as odors dissipated and the potential for an explosion was eliminated. Fire Marshall John Blundell said his investigators have determined that the gasoline entered the system at 2100 So. 3200 West.
