Flood of 1983 Historical Marker to be Unveiled

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.

The public is encouraged to attend.

“Talk to anyone who experienced the flooding of that year,” said Lara Bangerter, director of the Lehi Historical Society, “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 Bangerter, the community's response to the flood was remarkable: church was let out so sandbags could be filled, and women worked together to make and pass out sandwiches.
