 IVORY HOMES STATEMENT ON FLOODING OF ORCHARD RIDGE DRIVE IN KAYSVILLE 

                   

We are alarmed by the significant flooding in the Orchard Ridge Community in east Kaysville. We are grateful that everyone in the area is reported to be safe. Our initial inspection indicates that uphill from Orchard Ridge, a substantial amount of water from snowmelt, accelerated by the recent warm weather, inundated the city storm drain system. The volume of the water directed at the system was beyond the capacity of that system, and as a result, the water significantly undermined these new streets. No new homes have had interior water infiltration and we are grateful there has been no private property damage. 

                   

Ivory Homes is working closely with Kaysville City representatives who have been very proactive in responding to this crisis. In addition to their work, our trade partners and crews are delivering thousands of sandbags to assist the city and affected homeowners. 

                   

We are confident that the city will find a solution to prevent future flooding and we will work arm in arm with them until the situation is resolved.
