Situated on the TR-LOCUST CREEK, this earth-type dam with a buttress core design serves as a vital water supply source for the surrounding area, covering a surface area of 36 acres and draining a watershed of 663 acres.
Despite its age, Milan Lake Dam South has been well-maintained and regularly inspected by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROGRAM. The dam has a low hazard potential and is in satisfactory condition, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
