Reed Dam, located in Washington County, Iowa, was completed in 1968 by the USDA NRCS and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond management. This private earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 36 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 31 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Dutch Creek, the dam's primary source agency is Iowa DNR, indicating state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement.

Despite its low hazard potential, Reed Dam is classified as having a moderate risk level, with a condition assessment of "Not Rated". The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the dam has not been modified in recent years. The surrounding area of the dam covers 4 acres and drains a small 0.16 square mile watershed. This structure, owned privately, is critical for water resource management in the area, ensuring water supply for firefighting, livestock, and aquatic life.

As a key feature of the water infrastructure in Coppock, Iowa, Reed Dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the region. With its modest size and storage capacity, the dam provides essential services to the community while also being subject to state regulations and oversight by the Iowa DNR. Its construction by the NRCS underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in maintaining and managing water resources for various purposes in a sustainable and efficient manner.
