1983 Flood Historical Marker Unveiling
The Lehi Historical Society will unveil a historical marker for the 1983 flood at 89 W. 500 North on Thursday, October 23, at 6 p.m.
“Talk to anyone who experienced the flooding of that year, they always marvel at how the community came together to fight the water. Their efforts and example are absolutely worth a historical marker.”
According to Lara Bangerter, director of the Lehi Historical Society, the community's response to the flood was remarkable. She noted that
“Church was let out so sandbags could be filled. Women worked together to make and pass out sandwiches. It was a disaster that they quickly figured out would be most effectively fought together.”
The public is encouraged to attend the unveiling ceremony.
