Soap Creek Watershed Site 26-32 is a vital water resource located in Davis County, Iowa, specifically in the city of Floris. Managed by the USDA NRCS, this site serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond usage, as well as flood risk reduction. Completed in 1995, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a storage capacity of 35 acre-feet.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Soap Creek Watershed Site 26-32 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, but it is regularly inspected by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, which also regulates and enforces state laws regarding its operation. The dam's location along TR-South Soap Creek makes it an important part of the local watershed and contributes to the overall water management efforts in the region.

While the dam does not have any associated structures or outlet gates, it provides essential water storage and flood risk reduction benefits to the community. Its controlled spillway and uncontrolled spillway type help manage water flow during periods of high discharge. With its strategic location and purposeful design, Soap Creek Watershed Site 26-32 is a key asset in ensuring water security and resilience in the region.
