DRAPER — Several businesses in Draper were shut down Saturday due to a sewer line issue, but health officials say repairs are underway and the businesses should be able to reopen on Sunday.

About 9 p.m. Friday, officials from the Salt Lake County Health Department responded to a sewage backup at 12191 S. State Street. The sewage backup was entering a nearby storm drain, health department spokesman Nicholas Rupp said.
