Completed in 1940, this recreational structure stands at a height of 20 feet and stretches 618 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to ensure safety and compliance with state regulations. However, recent assessments have deemed its condition as poor, with a high hazard potential and very high risk level.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. The surrounding area covers 11 acres, with a drainage area of 0.32 square miles. In case of emergencies, the dam lacks an updated emergency action plan, raising concerns about preparedness and risk management. With a high hazard potential and poor condition, there is a critical need for maintenance and improvements to address safety issues and lessen the risk of potential failures that could impact the surrounding community and environment. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should keep a close eye on Templo De Alabanza to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
