2, located in Delaware, Ohio, is a key water resource managed by a public utility. This reservoir, completed in 1989, plays a crucial role in water supply, with a storage capacity of 825.8 acre-feet and a surface area of 30.5 acres. The dam, primarily constructed with earth and stone core, stands at a height of 42.5 feet and serves as a vital infrastructure for the region's water management.
Managed and regulated by the Department of Natural Resources in Ohio, this reservoir on the Olentangy River offstream not only ensures water supply but also mitigates flood risks with its uncontrolled spillway. Despite being classified with a high hazard potential, the dam is assessed to be in satisfactory condition, last inspected in July 2018. With a moderate risk rating, the reservoir undergoes regular inspections every 5 years to maintain its operational integrity and ensure public safety. This site stands as a testament to responsible water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.
