The dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and flood risk reduction, making it a vital structure for the local community.

The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a drainage area of 140 square miles and a normal storage capacity of 33 acre-feet. While the dam has not been inspected recently, its emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures remain unspecified. With its strategic location and crucial role in mitigating flood risks, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam S-93 stands as a key asset in water resource management for the region.
