The Sweetwater Dam in Bonita is unsafe and people living downstream are in jeopardy.  That’s according to the Director of California’s Division of Safety of Dams who flew down to San Diego Wednesday from Sacramento to address the Sweetwater Authority Board of Directors, which recently voted to not fund repairs to the dam. “The problem is the spillway, which actually safely passes the flow, is not big enough,” said David Gutierrez, director of the division. The dam was built in 1888 and flooded over in 1916.  Eight people were killed.
