5.5 Billion Gallons of Water Released From Lake Hodges Dam in Past Two Years

As we watch our water bills rise and are asked to consistently conserve water in a drought – billions of gallons of water are being dumped from the Lake Hodges Dam and there are concerns more water will be wasted this winter.

It’s been a dry fall, but we are expecting rain in the coming months and because the dam is badly in need of repairs, water levels have to be kept very low right now – meaning more of this precious resource will be released into the ocean.
