This Earth-type dam, with a height of 18 feet and a hydraulic height of 17 feet, serves the primary purpose of water supply. The dam has a storage capacity of 302 acre-feet, a surface area of 28 acres, and a drainage area of 1.4 square miles, making it a significant water resource in the area.
Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the Wiiliams Road Pond has not been modified in recent years and lacks emergency action preparedness measures. The dam is regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam's spillway, an uncontrolled type with a width of 40 feet, and the presence of needle outlet gates are key features of its design. With its location near the tributary Buchanan Bayou, the Wiiliams Road Pond plays a crucial role in water management and supply in Caddo County, Louisiana.
