Partnership Farm Irrigation Pond Dam, is a private earth dam located in Kite, Georgia. Completed in 1981, this dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a storage capacity of 337 acre-feet and a surface area of 30 acres. The dam stands at a height of 12 feet and spans 700 feet along Swain Creek in Johnson County.
Despite being unregulated by the state and having a low hazard potential, Lager Irrigation Pond Dam has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 2014. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, posing a moderate risk in the event of failure. With regular inspections every 5 years, the dam continues to play a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region while also being a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts to study and monitor its structural health and risk assessment.
