Work on Hodges Reservoir Dam began last May after inspections identified areas that needed to be repaired and sealed.
The water level of the reservoir was lowered 18 feet to allow workers to access the dam and that's when “additional defects” were found, according to a city news release on Monday.
“While this is a setback for the project schedule, it is critical that we do the best job possible to ensure that Hodges Dam remains safe,” said Juan Guerreiro, director of the city’s public utilities department. “The extra work on the repairs will be worth the additional time it takes.”
