Is the dam instrumented and monitored?

Dam surveillance instruments (piezometers, drains, survey markers) are installed at the dam. EBMUD inspects the dam and monitors the dam safety instrumentation periodically: drains are continuously monitored and are inspected bi-monthly, piezometers are monitored and inspected monthly, and surveys are performed bi-annually. The instrumentation and survey data are also received by DSOD.
