Owned privately, the dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement. With a height of 21 feet and a length of 7540 feet, the dam holds a normal storage capacity of 1500 acre-feet, providing essential water supply for the area.
Located on the Off Ch-White Rock Creek, the Parkdale Storage Reservoir Dam is classified as an Earth dam with a Stone core type. It lacks a spillway but has one outlet gate. Although the dam's hazard potential is not available, it is considered to have a high risk level. The risk management measures and condition assessment are not rated, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam for the surrounding community and environment.
With its association with EBASCO SERVICES INC as the designer, Parkdale Storage Reservoir Dam serves as a significant infrastructure in water resource management for the region. As climate change impacts water resources, the importance of maintaining and assessing the resilience of such structures becomes increasingly vital for sustainable water management in the face of evolving challenges.
