If you have been to Lake Hodges or driven by it this past week, you may have noticed it's getting lower. An inspection of Lake Hodges Dam a couple of months ago found damage and the process of lowering the water level to make repairs has started. Arian Collins, a Supervising Public Information Officer for the City of San Diego, said the inspection was done by SCUBA diver, which found the damage under water. "It was during one of these regular maintenance inspections they found areas of the Dam that needed repair. We're looking at lowering the water level another 18' and that will get us to the the area that needs to be repaired," said Collins. Because the Hodges Dam is over 100 years old, these repairs are crucial to safety and maintenance.
