SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Crews for Chevron Corp. are hosing the banks of a Salt Lake City creek to mop up the last of a 33,000-gallon oil spill.
Chevron says the work is being done on a stretch of Red Butte Creek between the Veteran's Hospital and Liberty Park.
Chevron says about 600 of 800 barrels of crude oil have been recovered from the pipeline spill.
The latest washing effort started Saturday and continued Monday.
Chevron has said a short in a high-voltage power line traveled through a utility fence post and melted a quarter-size hole in the pipeline June 12.
