Here's why a Pleasant Grove splash pad closed shortly after opening
PLEASANT GROVE (ABC4) — A new splash pad was unveiled in Pleasant Grove City over the weekend, but now the city announced it will be closed until further notice.
On Saturday, a grand opening was held for Cook Family Park, featuring its splash pad, an all-abilities playground, a skate park, basketball courts, and more.
In an online announcement Sunday night, Pleasant Grove City wrote that the new splash pad received a few reports of people slipping, causing its closure.
'With safety as our number one priority, we will be closing it immediately as the contractors will be applying additional treatment to the surface area to prevent further issues. We apologize for any inconvenience and aim to maintain a safe environment,' the city wrote.

Warm, sunny, weather with pop-up mountain showers possible
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Tuesday, Utah! We're going to be looking and feeling much more like summer around the Beehive state as we move throughout the upcoming week. Look for mostly sunny skies and hot temperatures. Highs will warm into the low to mid-90s through midweek along the Wasatch Front. Highs will be around 100° for SW Utah. Daytime heating and a little residual moisture will lead to a few isolated pop-up showers and storms, primarily over the higher terrain of central and southern Utah, Tuesday afternoon. The overall rain chance for the rest of the area will remain very low. A disturbance will graze northern Utah on Wednesday, which could help to spark a few more isolated storms over northern portions of the state. This system may have enough dynamics to produce an isolated strong storm or two on Wednesday afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined the northern third of Utah under a Marginal 'level 1' risk for strong winds with any of these storms that may develop on Wednesday. Once the midweek system clears, look for a stronger ridge of high pressure to settle overhead, leading to drier and hotter conditions just in time for our Father's Day weekend. High temps will be in the mid to upper 90s for the Wasatch Front. High temps across southern Utah will warm between 100°-105°. The warm temperatures, low humidity levels, dry vegetation, and gusty southwest winds will lead to a critical fire danger developing across portions of central and southern Utah. Any outdoor burning will be highly discouraged. RSL hoping to make a run in second half of season Utah lawmakers oppose AI regulation in Trump's 'Big, beautiful bill' 'Somebody has to stop it:' Gov.

New monitoring plan announced to learn more about Great Salt Lake dust, inform public
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — In a news conference Tuesday morning, Great Salt Lake Commissioner Brian Steed gave updates on the state of the lake, and also announced an effort to better monitor the lake's dust. Currently, Steed shared that the lake is lower than it's preferred to be, however, the lake salinity, which is how much salt is dissolved into the water, is at healthy levels. Salinity can be a concern if it gets too high, which happens when the water is too shallow. 'It's something we are also monitoring quite carefully because if we have a hot, dry summer with low precipitation, that can drop that into really scary levels,' he said. Pink water at Bear Lake? Here's how this study aims to curb invasive plant species Additionally, Tim Davis, the executive director of the Department of Environmental Quality, described a comprehensive plan for monitoring dust at the Great Salt Lake. That plan includes 19 new monitors, which are set to be around communities that could be impacted by the Great Salt Lake, as well as other potential dust sources, including near the West Desert and the Nevada border. There will be two types — continuous monitors, which will collect data all the time, and filter monitors, which will capture particles to be analyzed following a dust event. Davis said this is to be able to differentiate sources of dust, what they're made up of, and inform the public. '[We want to] develop tools to give people a heads up when a potential dust storm could be coming, and so people who are sensitive, for example, if they have asthma, that they can take steps to protect themselves,' he said. The first step for this, he shared, is developing a dust network. Davis said it can take some time to put in the monitors, as they're meant to be permanent. However, the hope is the project can get its start in July. 'I'll just say how excited I am for this project. It's one of the major data gaps we've had, honestly, on Great Salt Lake management to see how much dust is coming off the exposed lake bed and what's in that dust. Trying to figure that out is going to be a key question going forward. And so I really appreciate Director Davis for his dedication to figuring out better data and to have that information available for all of us when we go ahead and make these choices,' Steed said. Davis shared that they're planning to gather quantitative data related to dust that will eventually be used in the same system that warns Utahns about unhealthy air quality days. 'The first thing we need to do is just gather the data,' he said. '… We do have some data already on just those potential sources, but we need better data. We need more information about it in order to really characterize it and give people an idea of if there is a risk, what is the potential risks from different sources?'

Several Park City businesses evacuated due to gas leak near Main Street
PARK CITY, Utah () — Several businesses and homes have been evacuated near Park City's historic Main Street due to a gas leak on Tuesday afternoon. Mike Owens, the Park City Fire Department fire marshal, told that crews responded to the area just after noon on June 10 and noticed the smell of natural gas. Enbridge Gas crews have since responded to the scene and begun working on clamping several gas lines to mitigate the leak. As a precaution, officials have evacuated the area south of Heber Avenue, including Main Street, Park Avenue and Swede Alley. There is no estimate on how many people have been impacted by the evacuations or when the evacuation is expected to lift. This is a developing story. ABC4 will update this post as new information becomes available.
