This Earth type dam stands at a height of 48 feet and stretches 900 feet in length, serving primarily as a water supply source. With a storage capacity of 2620 acre-feet, the dam sits on the TR-Lower Centerville Reservoir on the TR-LOWER CENTERVILLE RESERVOIR stream.
Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safe operation. Although classified as having a significant hazard potential, the dam is currently in satisfactory condition as per the last assessment conducted in June 2017. With a moderate risk rating, the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are yet to be fully detailed, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and preparedness in the face of potential hazards.
