Ogden River

OGDEN — Work on a public art project that will serve as the centerpiece of the ongoing Ogden River restoration is almost complete.

The piece, dubbed the “Water Table,” was designed by Denver-area artist Andy Dufford and features, along with several mountain canyons, a stone-carved map of the Ogden and Weber Rivers flowing into the Great Salt Lake.

The completed work will include a water element for splashing, a solstice sculpture and a small gathering area.

OGDEN — A stolen car found Tuesday morning dumped in the Ogden River held nothing but water and fodder for snide remarks by the onlookers and city’s rescue personnel pulling it out.

Such as: “I bet the carburetor is flooded.”

Or: “Someone didn’t want to give it back to the finance company.”

And finally, “That’s what you call mild water damage,” said with a grin.

The breach repair project on the Weber River was completed Saturday and early indications are that the fix is holding, according to a news release from the Utah Department of Public Safety.
