(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Numerous signs of damage remain around the Salt Lake Valley on Saturday, March 30, 2019, following a storm that dumped heavy snow knocking down trees and power lines.
Some Salt Lake City residents will remain without power into a third day after an early spring snowstorm damaged power lines.
Maintenance crews have been working to restore electricity since Friday morning after the city was coated in an unexpected inch of snow. The storm, which brought heavy winds and heavy slush, caused scattered outages that impacted more than 19,000 residents at the peak.
About 900 remained without power by Saturday night.
The city sent out a notice advising those residents that a fix might not come until sometime Sunday. To check the status of the outage, customers can text “STAT” to Rocky Mountain Power at 759677.

Salt Lake City’s forestry team also worked to clear the broken tree branches blocking roadways and sidewalks. But most residents were asked to clean up the litter on their own property.
The forecast calls for a sunny Sunday, with temperatures in the mid-50s.
