Teton_DamIDAHO—Thirty-four years ago, eastern Idaho changed forever. The eight-month-old Teton Dam, on the Teton River near Rexburg, failed—drowning 11 people and 18,000 head of livestock and causing $2 billion in damage. The state of Idaho and BuRec are now investigating ways to boost state water supply. That includes, perhaps, a new Teton Dam. “The environmental group American Rivers said this week that rebuilding Teton Dam would waste money, be unsafe and irresponsible because other, more reliable water supply options exist.”
