Completed in 1973, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and serves various purposes, with a primary focus on providing water storage for the surrounding area. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 290 acre-feet, ensuring a stable water supply for the region.
With a low hazard potential but a very high risk assessment rating, this dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. The structure, designed with stone core and soil foundation, spans a length of 1068 feet and covers a surface area of 4.5 acres. Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its current condition, indicating the need for further assessment and maintenance. Regular inspections, last conducted in 2010, ensure the safety and integrity of the dam for the community it serves, making it an essential component of water resource management in the area.
