This buttress dam, standing at 9 feet with a hydraulic height of 3.5 feet, serves as a key component in managing the flow of a tributary of the Charles River. The dam has a storage capacity of 30.8 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 12 feet.
Despite its importance, Bulloughs Pond Dam is currently rated as being in poor condition and has a significant hazard potential.

With an inspection frequency of 5 years, it is crucial for the dam to undergo necessary repairs and maintenance to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the preservation of water resources in the area.
