Photos: Refilling Tempe Town Lake
Tempe opened the spigot to refill Tempe Town Lake on Oct. 8, 2010, after completing repairs to the rubber dam that forms the urban lake near ASU. The dam burst July 20, emptying the lake within hours - the day before repairs to the aging structure were due to commence.
