Flooding displaces residents of building at Taylorsville senior facility

Taylorsville • Approximately 100 residents of a senior living center in a Salt Lake City suburb were displaced by flooding caused by a broken pipe early Thursday morning.

Evacuated residents initially stayed in a lobby in another building at the facility in Taylorsville and most were able to return to their units in the facility by late Thursday morning. However, about a dozen went to hotels.

The building is new and officials are investigating whether cold weather conditions caused the break in the pipe that started the flooding on the fifth floor.
