Construction began over Santa Ysabel Creek in 1927, but was halted in 1928 with a little more than a quarter of the dam complete. The battle was over water rights between the town of Escondido, and the city of San Diego. This lasted for a long time.
Construction for the second time began in 1952, and was completed in 1954.
Dams make me nervous every since the Teton Dam broke in Idaho.
You bet every dam break in recorded history was going through my head..Also,,whens the next earthquake flitted across my mind.
