Mill Creek Intake is a private water resource infrastructure located in Luzerne, Pennsylvania, along Mill Creek. Built in 1914, this stone dam stands at 35 feet in height and has a storage capacity of 16 acre-feet, primarily serving recreational purposes. The dam has been regulated and inspected by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, ensuring its structural integrity and safety for public use.

Despite its age, Mill Creek Intake has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam's last inspection took place in May 2019, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam itself remains in good condition, the emergency action plan and risk management measures associated with the structure are currently not updated, indicating areas for improvement in ensuring the safety and resiliency of the intake in case of emergencies.

With its historical significance and importance for recreational activities, Mill Creek Intake stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of water resource management in Pennsylvania. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is essential for authorities to prioritize the maintenance and modernization of structures like Mill Creek Intake to ensure the continued safety and enjoyment of the community.
