Report: Most dams in Hawaii have 'high hazard potential'
HONOLULU (AP) — The vast majority of Hawaii's state-regulated dams are considered to have "high hazard potential," according to a 2017 infrastructure report by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
One of the 124 dams given that classification is one in Honolulu that prompted an evacuation warning Thursday amid heavy rains. Later in the day, officials said the century-old reservoir wasn't in immediate danger of collapsing.
Hawaii has 132 state-regulated dams.
