Morris Dam, located in Lucas, Iowa, is a private earth dam with a height of 26 feet and a length of 382 feet. Completed in 1991, this dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection and providing a small fish pond for the local community. With a storage capacity of 22 acre-feet and a normal storage of 16 acre-feet, Morris Dam covers a surface area of 2 acres and drains a small area of 0.02 square miles.

Managed by the USDA NRCS, Morris Dam is regulated by the Iowa DNR and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway type and serves as a crucial water resource for the area. Although not currently rated for its condition, Morris Dam plays a vital role in water management and conservation efforts in the region. With its location along TR-Indian Creek, the dam contributes to the overall resilience of the local water supply system and ecosystem.

In the event of an emergency, Morris Dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status is currently not updated, but the dam is well-maintained and monitored to ensure public safety and water resource sustainability.
