This reservoir serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and as a small fish pond. With a capacity of 80 acre-feet and a surface area of 80 acres, it provides a crucial water source for the surrounding area.
Constructed as a gravity dam with a height of 25 feet and a hydraulic height of 21 feet, Gill Reservoir has a low hazard potential and is not currently rated in terms of condition assessment. The last inspection was conducted in August 2011, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it meets state regulatory standards for permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Despite being relatively small in size, Gill Reservoir plays a significant role in water resource management and climate resilience in the region. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the importance of well-maintained reservoirs like Gill in providing essential water services for both human and ecological needs cannot be overstated.
