On May 19th, 2020, during a storm, the Edenville dam in Michigan failed. It was a Tuesday evening. The flood waters caused the Sanford Dam to fail on the 20th.
After a lot of finger pointing, and at least one lawsuit, it was decided to rebuild those 2 dams, and repair/upgrade two more that were also impacted by the storm but did not fail.
Refilling of Sanford lake began on April 15th.

When the plans were first announced to rebuild the dams, I was disappointed that they would not be hydroelectric generators, but that would have made permitting more complicated. They are only for flood control, and creating recreational lakes.
