the bill for repairs to the spillways at the Oroville Dam is now at about $870 million and will certainly climb as the repair work to the main spillway will not be completed until much later this year. The real bummer is they KNEW 50 years ago when they were building it that three was a problem with the substrata under the main spillway and the cheap bastards at DWR wouldn't spend and extra $1.2 million to do it right. Something about "penny wise and pound foolish" comes to mind.
