Lever, a privately owned dam situated in Kingston Springs, Tennessee, holds a significant role in water resource management within the state. Constructed in 1945, Lever stands at a structural height of 26.4 feet with a hydraulic height of 22 feet, serving the purpose of controlling the flow of Harrison Branch. With a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.15 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating water levels in the region.

Despite its age, Lever has been deemed to be in satisfactory condition, with a high hazard potential due to its location and the volume of water it holds. The dam is inspected on a regular basis by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program to ensure its safety and functionality. Lever's spillway type is listed as uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge capacity not specified. The dam's risk assessment has been rated as moderate, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards.

As a key component of the water infrastructure in Williamson County, Lever serves as an important asset for both water resource management and flood control. With its historical significance and critical role in the region's water supply, Lever stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring dam structures to ensure the safety and well-being of surrounding communities. Through continued inspection and risk management efforts, Lever continues to play a vital role in safeguarding the environment and residents of Kingston Springs and beyond.
