Utah businesses in Murray face damage after a water main break over Labor Day.

They say Jordan Valley Water initially promised help but later denied responsibility, citing state law.

MURRAY — Several Utah businesses in a Murray complex are trying to get back on their feet after a water main break washed them out. But they said the owner of the pipeline has told them that it's not their problem.

The break happened over the Labor Day weekend, several blocks away. The rupture sent a torrent of water downhill, turning the complex into a lake that wound up devastating three businesses on the lower level — Serenity Haven, Steps Recovery Center and Simplicity Laser.
