Show Worst Flood Of History Strikes Battle Ck. Canyon Last week's storm which flooded Provo canyon also sent a torrent of water down Battle Creek canyon, deserllxid as the worst flood ever to come down the canyon. Fearing the Murdock canal and the city water line would be washed out, crews stood ready at the canyon can-yon to divert the water as much as possible. Irrigation ditches, and spread of the runoff, averted serious ser-ious damage, but ditches were filled with gravel. A break in the power company line added to the force of the flood. The city water Intake was filled with gravel, the line was bent, and ditches were filled, but otherwise damage was slight. |
