Two homes in Hidden Canyon Estates in Draper collapsed due to a retaining wall and hillside slope failure. The homes were evacuated in October after Draper building officials revoked the certificates of occupancy for the residences.

Edge Homes, the homebuilder, plans to pay for relocation, storage, and temporary housing expenses of the homeowners on either side of the slide area. The exact cause of the collapse is still unknown, but Utah Geological Survey scientists are seeing ground movement in the Wasatch foothills, and landslides and erosion could be a problem across Utah this spring.
