The last inspection of the dam was conducted in October 2015, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the condition assessment of the dam is not available, the state of Illinois regulates and inspects the dam to ensure compliance with safety standards. Overall, Lakeview Estates Unit 3 Pond 1 Dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region and is an essential infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience efforts.
