Completed in 1988, this earth dam stands at a height of 51 feet and spans a length of 560 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 21 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Creve Coeur Creek, which has a drainage area of 4 square miles and a maximum discharge of 479 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, City Place Dam has been deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in 2007. Regular inspections are conducted every two years to ensure the dam's structural integrity and overall safety. The dam is regulated by the Dam and Reservoir Safety Program in Missouri, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to maintain compliance with safety standards. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, City Place Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events.
