The dam, completed in 1925, stands at a height of 54 feet and serves primarily for water supply purposes. With a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet and a drainage area of 3.35 square miles, Black Rock Creek provides vital water resources for the surrounding area.
Managed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), Black Rock Creek is regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and functionality.

The surrounding area offers opportunities for recreation alongside its water supply functions, making it a valuable asset for both residents and visitors to enjoy.
Represented by Congressman Jimmy Panetta, Black Rock Creek showcases the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of climate change challenges. With its earth-type dam structure and historical significance, Black Rock Creek stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of water infrastructure in meeting the evolving needs of communities in California.
