Completed in 1924, this gravity dam stands at a height of 195 feet, providing a storage capacity of 4,036 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of water supply, the dam plays a crucial role in ensuring a reliable water source for the surrounding area.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the California Department of Water Resources, the Mulholland Dam is subject to regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam has been assessed to be in satisfactory condition, with emergency action plans in place to address any potential risks. The dam's location on the Weid Canyon river stream further underscores its importance in water resource management for the region.
With a surface area of 82 acres and a drainage area of 1 square mile, the Mulholland Dam serves as a vital component in the water supply infrastructure of Los Angeles County. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the significance of well-maintained structures like the Mulholland Dam becomes increasingly evident in ensuring the resilience of water supply systems in the face of changing environmental conditions.
