Crews at the Salt Lake International Airport are looking for ways to fix a water leak that flowed into in the tunnel connecting two main concourses.
A ground water leak did not impact flights after it flooded a tunnel connecting gates at the Salt Lake City International Airport on March 11, 2024. Airport officials said the leak caused issues in the tunnel for three hours on Monday. A utility corridor was opened for travelers to get through while crews addressed the flooding.
Water is being redirected to another area while they make repairs. Officials assured the costs do not fall on taxpayers. “Basically, the funds are generated in a number of ways,” said Nancy Volmer, spokesperson for the Salt Lake City Airport.“There's a lot of fees that the different tenants pay. And, of course, passengers pay. The airlines pay the airlines a different passenger fee, too, when they buy their tickets. Those fees are what's being worked there towards operation,” Volmer said.
