This earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 17 feet and has a length of 200 feet, providing a storage capacity of 300 acre-feet. Situated on Caney Creek-TR, this dam serves a primary purpose other than flood control and irrigation, with a low hazard potential and a current condition assessment of "Not Rated".
Despite not being state-regulated, Morrilton Sewage Lake Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. With its normal storage capacity of 150 acre-feet, the dam helps regulate water flow and maintain water quality for the surrounding community. Although the dam has not been inspected recently, its low hazard potential suggests a relatively low risk to downstream areas, making it an important asset in the local water infrastructure.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Morrilton Sewage Lake Dam will become increasingly important for managing water supply and quality. With a focus on maintaining and assessing the condition of such dams, local governments can ensure the safety and resilience of their water systems in the face of changing climate patterns.
