Summary:

The failure of a reservoir in Tampa has led to a lawsuit by the Tampa Bay Water utility alleging a faulty design on the part of HDR engineering. The damages could reach nearly $100 million. The rebuilding of the reservoir is expected to cost over $160 million. The attorneys for TBW claim that the faulty design is allowing water pressure to build in the embankment when the water is drawn down. [Source: ENR: Engineering News. Image: ENR]
