Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, Twin Hills Lake has not been rated for its condition assessment. The last inspection was conducted in September 2005, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the dam currently meets guidelines for emergency action plans and inundation maps, there is a need for further assessment and management measures to ensure its long-term safety and effectiveness as a water resource in the region.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Twin Hills Lake to be an intriguing structure in the landscape, with its unique design and purpose. Its location, design features, and management status present opportunities for further exploration and monitoring to ensure its continued performance and safety in the face of changing environmental conditions.
