Built in 1995, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 34 feet and stretches across 630 feet, with a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet. The reservoir covers an area of 4.7 acres and has a drainage area of 0.01 square miles.
Despite its importance for water supply, the Mahinahina Reservoir is classified as having a high hazard potential and poor condition assessment. With its spillway being of the uncontrolled type, the reservoir poses a significant risk. Recent inspections in 2019 and 2020 have highlighted the need for improvement and emergency action preparedness. The dam's moderate risk level underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and longevity for the community it serves.
