Flash flood hits Main Street, leaves some without water

Heavy rains on the evening of August 20 led to flash floods that swept down Moab’s Main Street and local waterways. Some local businesses have closed for the day to clean up water damage, while the City of Moab has cautioned residents not to use any city trails while crews work to assess damage from the storm.

City officials are offering sand and sandbags at the Public Works yard (470 Kane Creek) and free showers to those without running water at the Moab Recreation and Aquatic Center (374 N. Park).
