Short-term repairs are precursor to more comprehensive upgrades that could include replacement
The San Diego City Council approved $9 million Tuesday for short-term repairs to two city dams found to have cracks and other structural problems during state-ordered assessments in 2019.
While the dams are outside city limits, they are part of San Diego’s vast water network that includes nine reservoirs and dams located across the county.The state ordered evaluations of many dams across California after the 2017 failure of the Oroville Dam near Sacramento. The dams in San Diego’s network deemed most similar to Oroville are Morena, El Capitan, Hodges and Lower Otay.
The repairs will keep the two dams functional while city and state officials come up with design plans and funding for more comprehensive repairs -- or replacement dams.
