Lake Wohlford is a reservoir located in the foothills of San Diego County, approximately 6.5 miles northeast of the City of Escondido. The existing dam was built out of rock in 1895 and was enlarged and reinforced with hydraulic fill in 1924. In 2007, an analysis determined the 1924 portion of the dam seismically unsafe. Mitigation measures included decreasing the lake's water surface elevation to 40% of the full capacity until the dam could be upgraded to meet state-mandated seismic standards.The reservoir supplies roughly 30 percent of the City's water and 120,000 people within the Vista Irrigation District.
