Completed in 1942, this earth dam stands at a height of 46 feet and spans a length of 542 feet, providing essential protection to the surrounding community. With a storage capacity of 878 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 585 acre-feet, Warner Lake plays a crucial role in managing water levels during times of high discharge.
Despite its significant hazard potential and poor condition assessment, Warner Lake remains a key asset in safeguarding against potential flooding events in the region. The dam's controlled spillway, equipped with a valve outlet gate, allows for the controlled release of excess water, reducing the risk of overtopping and ensuring the safety of downstream areas. However, with a very high risk assessment rating of 1, ongoing maintenance and risk management measures are essential to ensure the continued effectiveness of Warner Lake in mitigating flood risks and protecting the local community.
