WI Tops List of US Dam Failures

A new report says Wisconsin is second in the nation in the number of dam failures.

The Wisconsin Policy Forum says since 2000, 34 dams in Wisconsin have failed. Only South Carolina has seen more failures. The report says 28 of those 34 dams have failed since 2018. The report says it’s a sign of aging, and failing infrastructure. The report also blames climate charge for a string of wet years across the country that left Wisconsin dealing with more rain than in the past. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL REPORT.
