SALT LAKE CITY — Drivers that use the State Street and North Temple intersection will need a new commute for the summer due to water line construction, according to the Salt Lake City Public Utilities website.
According to the website, the main water line is over 100 years old and needs to be replaced for upcoming infrastructure plans in the downtown area.
Crews will install new water lines, replace water meters and work on the sewers, beginning Monday.
