Situated on the TRIB CALUMET SAG-OFFSTREAM, this dam is state-regulated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Holy Family Villa Lake Dam is subject to moderate risk due to its condition assessment being unavailable. However, the dam is not equipped with an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or inundation maps, potentially posing challenges in case of emergencies. Nevertheless, with its picturesque location and recreational value, the dam serves as a vital water resource for the community and offers a serene environment for water and climate enthusiasts to appreciate and enjoy.
