The dam, constructed by the LA Department of Public Works in 1961, serves the primary purpose of providing water supply to the surrounding area. The earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet, with a hydraulic height of 29 feet, and a length of 730 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 340 acre-feet.
With a surface area of 30 acres and a drainage area of 1 square mile, Georgetown Water Supply is fed by the TR-Little River. The dam's spillway, of uncontrolled type, has a width of 27 feet. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the risk assessment for Georgetown Water Supply indicates a moderate level of risk, with a DSAC assigned date yet to be determined. The dam is subject to regular inspections and enforcement by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to ensure its safety and reliability for water supply and climate enthusiasts in the region.
