Hey Eastern Washingtonians! Wanapum Dam Drawdown?

I heard about the crack in the dam last week. Looks like the drawdown for repairs has dropped the water level about twenty feet. Link to article I've only found this one picture on the web so far...

WOW!

Talk about sharp eyes...guess how they discovered/suspected there was a problem down under the water? Some PUD employee noticed the "wow" in the conduit that you can see up near the top of this picture. That's why they sent the divers down.

Give that eagle-eyed person a raise!
