Water Supply Coordinator Darlissha Tillman-Sadler is pictured conducting a dam inspection while reviewing data logs from vibrating wire transducers — one of the quiet heroes of infrastructure monitoring. These sensors continuously measure pressure, movement, and stress within the dam structure, providing critical information for:
• Early warning and risk reduction
• Tracking long-term structural performance
• Guiding maintenance and repair decisions
• Protecting downstream communities and vital water resources
Dam safety is more than inspections — it’s a combination of data, technology, and proactive management working together to safeguard the systems our community relies on every day.
