The City Council Tuesday night approved a contract to build a storm drain in Davis Boulevard from North Canyon Creek to 3000 South. The pipe will be 1 275 feet will and cost more long than $91, OCX) to install. The new storm drain will help relieve a problem that has plagued Bountiful since the city annexed the area in 19. When the neighborhood was under the jurisdiction of Davis County, residents were allowed to build houses along the west side of Davis Boulevard below the street. That meant many downhill driveways, which frequently flood because there is not a storm drain in the street to direct the water elsewhere. We anticipate that this storm drain system will take the water that has been running into peoples yards and divert it directly into the creek, Bountiful City Engineer Paul Rowland said. The project should be finished by July. 24-in- ch U Groundbreaking for parking garage to mark start of new Towne Centre BY KIM WOODBURY AND BOB MKXELSON ( lippei Weber State University Pres. F.
