Built in 1985 by RGDC INC. - TRIAD, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 860 feet, creating a storage capacity of 112 acre-feet. The dam's spillway, with a controlled design, has a width of 1 foot to manage a maximum discharge of 3,840 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Brixton Heights Addition is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state. Despite its satisfactory condition assessment, the dam poses a high hazard potential, leading to a very high risk assessment score of 1. Emergency action plans are yet to be prepared, indicating the need for proactive measures to ensure public safety in case of any unforeseen events. With a scenic location near a tributary to Spring Creek, this dam provides not only recreational opportunities but also a critical water resource for the surrounding area.
