*FREMONT, Calif. -- Enough water to supply 500 homes for one year spilled into San Francisco Bay on Thursday after vandals damaged a water district dam in Fremont, officials said.

The loss of 49 million gallons of water began sometime Thursday morning, when an inflatable dam on Alameda Creek was destroyed. Alameda County Water District, which maintains the dam, reported it to police at 11:30 a.m.

"This is a very significant loss of water under any circumstances, and more so in the drought conditions we are experiencing," said ACWD General Manager Robert Shaver. "It is an utterly senseless, destructive and wasteful thing to do."

Police said the felony vandalism was an intentional act, but as of Friday afternoon had no suspects and were not exactly sure how it was damaged. The dam is in a restricted area, authorities said.

Because of its age, the district was already working to replace the dam, officials said. It was built in 1971 and is one of two dams ACWD controls.

The water was to eventually be used by residents and businesses in Fremont, Newark and Union City, the water district said. ACWD supplies water to some 340,000 people in southern Alameda County. The district estimated the 49 million gallons, or 150 acre-feet of water, is enough to supply the needs of 500 homes for one year.

"While the water loss was substantial, the district does not believe it will have a long-term impact on its water supply operations," according to a district statement.

Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to contact Fremont police Detective A. Ceniceros at 510-790-6900 or email Aceniceros@fremont.gov.

Police in Fremont, California, are trying to figure out who deflated a rubber dam on Alameda Creek Thursday morning, letting nearly 50 million gallons of drinking water flow out.
The lost amount is enough water for 500 homes for a whole year, Alameda County Water District general manager Robert Shaver said Friday.

This sort of vital infrastructure needs to be protected (haven't there been enough threats made by terrorists and aren't there enough sympathizers living in the country). At a minimum, there needs to 24/7 surveillance cameras installed. But, I suppose there are so many soft targets available that it would be difficult to protect them all. I really worry about fire also. Unless we all really start to wake up, we are in for a world of hurt. It's just as bad in Canada. At the moment we have a federal government that does recognize the threats but we have an extremely liberal court that does everything in its power to overrule every effort by the government to protect the country from the madmen that have been allowed to emigrate here. I can't believe what I read in the papers every day about criminal acts perpetrated by people bearing names that you just know are cause for concern. They get a slap on the wrist and a pat on the back while many of us seethe. Oh, and usually they launch multi-million dollar lawsuits alleging their feelings have been hurt. They take us for complete fools and saps.

Sounds pretty Muslim to me.

This is EXACTLY the kind of under the radar TERROR ATTACK that ISIS, et al can execute with complete IMPUNITY in the US now. If you really want to degrade the USA, you will unleash the kind of swarming, minimal "acts of vandalism" like this. It is impossible for the government to admit even happens. It is the same thing as Hitler having to put one soldier each mile of railroad track to prevent sabotage. Yep, if "they" have to guard every single water source in California, even with only cameras, it will cost a fortune and disrupt daily life. And that, Old Archer is what all the vandalism<G> is really about. Bin Laden said one of the key goals of 9-11 was to have the USA spend itself to death, and damn if he hasn't had us squander TRILLIONS to fight the "war on terror."

A lot of the "unknown arson fires" in the West over the last few years are DIRECT TERROR ATTACKS. A tidal wave of "vandalism" has been unleashed all over the USA the last 15 years, and much, not all, but much of it IS LOW LEVEL TERROR ATTACKS DESIGNED TO DISRUPT DAILY LIFE IN THE USA.

Gang, this will never be admitted as a terror attack. The powers that be CAN'T ADMIT THE TRUTH OR THEIR CAREFULLY CRAFTED MULTICULTURAL PARADISE FANTASY WILL COLLAPSE.

Don't give them ideas, it seems so obvious to me that public works such as this are an indefensible target, but they haven't cottoned on to it yet.

Sorry, Richard but Militant Islam has been attacking US infrastructure for at least the last decade with absolute impunity due to the fact the powers that be CAN'T ADMIT IT IS HAPPENING. Militant Islam isn't stupid, amigo, they are very well of our PC stupidity and our lack of internal defense ability. The point of the fascist US anti terror systems is not to deal with Islamic terror, it is to bully native born American citizens and prepare them for the new, global feudal state our NWO masters want.

Richard, our enemies know us better than we know ourselves.

I think the infrastructure cannot be protected.

It can, but the problem has to be acknowledged honestly, and then addressed.

The dishonest and juvenile people that have created the problems aren't the ones that can fix them.

An aging inflatable dam that was due, or perhaps overdue for replacement, failed. They are unable to say exactly what caused the damage. Could it possibly be due to its age and being in poor shape?

This, from the OP, is rather contradictory,

Police said the felony vandalism was an intentional act, but as of Friday afternoon had no suspects and were not exactly sure how it was damaged.

I think since this is a rather small dam on a small river the act was most likely a hit by local eco terrorists to remove obstacles that stop salmon from getting upstream to spawn and it's made to look like a hit by ISIS supporters here in CONUS.

I may be completely wrong here so we still need to keep an eye out for attacks on our infrastructures by ISIS!
