“A concrete spill in Mill Creek Stream west of I-215 to at least 700 East has increased PH levels which can cause skin irritations,” said a tweet from the Utah Department of Transportation.

“It is imperative that humans and pets stay out of the water and away from Mill Creek Stream.”

The Utah Department of Transportation, Utah Department of Environmental Quality and Salt Lake County Health Department are on scene and working to address the situation.
