LEHI, Utah (KUTV) — One home in Lehi had a close call with flooding due to some construction nearby after rain poured down in the area.
The water got a few feet into their backyard Monday, but thanks to their sloped yard and some quick action from some construction workers, they were able to keep it at bay.
As the rain started falling, Hillary Mecham took a video of her son enjoying the downpour on the trampoline.
“It looks like snow is coming down,” she said in the video, referring to the rain.
Shortly after that, things went from fun to serious.
“So, I went out and he’s like, ‘we have a flood!’” Mecham said.
In a short amount of time, a small lake had formed at the corner of their block in Lehi.

Most likely they caused the issue so had a legal requirement to fix the issue.
He’s so lucky he wasn’t struck by lightning
I was afraid of him slipping and falling off. 😮
It's like everyone moved
to new climate
I literally was waiting for the back to the future " ⚡. That's the real issue!
Did they try to unclog it??
Awesome workers thank you ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
That rain the other day was crazy
How lucky we have it in the states. In many other countries they wouldn't have cared. I dislike so much about the politics here but imagine being in South Korea at all let alone in a situation.
Gonna give this a thumbs down ….
Who put this "news" story together? 😅 this is exactly why the "news" has to be on social media. No one watches this rubbish. The kid on the trampoline had absolutely 0 to do with the story. However it was the ONLY reason people clicked….
I live there but for me personally it’s was not that bad
The town next to me got 7" of rain in a short amount of time about 2 weeks ago. Roads were completely flooded and water went halfway up the people's yards! Probably could've used a kayak out there!
The construction workers had to fix their own mess so that means they saved the day? Not a W in my book.
This was a crazy storm everyone it was so unexpected!
Dont.let.you.kid.on.the.trampoline.during.a.storm. broken ankles, slip and fall concussions. LIGHTENING strikes… FFS there need to be a parenting registry and mandatory idiot classes.
Where is CPS arresting her allowing her child to be playing in a storm,,, how many children where stuck by lighting just in the DFW area last year,,, what are these parents thinking
This really of everything made the news
So are we all going to be called heroes for fixing mistakes we created for others? Like for real they aren't heroes at all
Industrial strength liquid plumber.
That’s scary
Could’ve easily read, clueless mother allows, son to be struck by lightning😮….
What about that little fucker? Did he survive the rain?
I genuinely don't have any idea why the drains would be blocked for construction??
Mecham… was that what they called her??
i miss being on a trampaline in the rain
She wouldn’t last in Texas
You mean they did their job. Give them a participation trophy 🤣🤣WTF do your job right the first time.
The workers were on damage control 😂 their company get sued to hell n back means some of them might get laidoff or lose bonuses plus have to go back and boss has pay double to redo work that had already been done.
So OFC the company gonna tell theier guys to fix what they can 😂
Thought a bolt of lighting was gonna struck the poor kiddo.. oof.
Lehi.
Horrible terrorist name.
Man holes?
Why would she allow her kid on a trampoline during a rain storm?
Ya its real smart allowing your child to be doing that like itsbnot highly unsafe smh
OMG IN UTAH I WOULD NIT LIEK TO BELIEVE BC MY CUZIN AND I LIVE THERE
THAT IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD
The construction workers caused it by pushing everything into the sewage system
Good job, construction workers ..working men always help , no matter what the problem ❤
