Just how safe is the Pucker Street Dam?

On Monday, the city of Niles met with engineers who will study the dam's stability and come up with a plan to repair the damage.

Nearly 50 homes were evacuated last month after extreme flooding began washing away the retaining wall support.

The dam is more than 100 years old.
