Built in 1966, this earth dam stands at 18 feet high and stretches 310 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 209 acre-feet. While primarily designed for recreation, Brewer Lake Dam also plays a role in managing the flow of Wiggins Creek.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Brewer Lake Dam poses a high risk with a hazard potential rating of 2. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam has not undergone recent inspections, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) are not documented. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Brewer Lake Dam represents a significant structure with potential risks that warrant attention and further assessment.
