With a drainage area of 8.54 square miles, Scoville Reservoir Dike boasts a surface area of 138 acres and a high hazard potential, yet its condition remains satisfactory. The dam's last inspection in December 2019 revealed its structural integrity, ensuring public safety and water resource management. This site, regulated by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, continues to serve as a crucial infrastructure for the community, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
