A view of Lake Bella Vista dam following flooding in 2017.

 

The Benton County Circuit Court has ruled that the decision about what to do with the dam at Lake Bella Vista rests with the City of Bentonville. Following multiple flooding events that severely damaged the dam, the city asked for a declaratory judgement to resolve its obligations to the property's previous owners.
