Summary
This earth dam, completed in 1921, stands at a height of 20 feet and stretches for 1800 feet across Plummers Creek. With a storage capacity of 161 acre-feet, the dam has been inspected and permitted by the state of Texas, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations.
Despite its age, Mexia Country Club Lake Dam has not undergone significant modifications and is currently rated as having a high risk potential. The dam lacks a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate. While its condition is not formally assessed, the structure remains in use and has not experienced any reported incidents. Although the dam is privately owned, it falls under state jurisdiction for permitting and inspection, ensuring its continued operation and safety for both water resource management and recreational activities.
With its historical significance and essential role in providing water for irrigation, Mexia Country Club Lake Dam stands as a testament to early engineering practices in Texas. While its risk potential is noted as high, the dam's compliance with state regulations and inspections helps to mitigate any potential hazards. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor and maintain structures like Mexia Country Club Lake Dam to ensure the safety and sustainability of our water infrastructure for future generations.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
