Situated in Cumberland, the dam serves as a crucial water supply source and stands at a height of 51.1 feet with a storage capacity of 93.7 acre-feet. The dam is primarily composed of earth materials and spans a length of 575 feet, making it a significant feature in the region.
Despite its importance for water supply, the dam's condition assessment is poor, indicating a need for maintenance and rehabilitation. With a significant hazard potential, regular inspections are crucial to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. The last inspection in November 2017 revealed the dam's subpar condition, highlighting the necessity for immediate attention to prevent any potential risks or failures. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor and address the vulnerabilities of such critical infrastructure to safeguard the surrounding environment and wildlife.
