Standing at a height of 14 feet and stretching 1400 feet in length, the dam holds a storage capacity of 106 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 40 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the TR-Galinda Creek and is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type.
Despite being privately owned, the dam is subject to state permitting and inspection requirements. However, it is not regulated by the state nor does it have enforcement measures in place. With a high hazard potential rating of 2, the dam's condition assessment is not rated, indicating a need for further evaluation. The absence of a spillway and limited emergency preparedness information raises concerns about the dam's ability to withstand potential risks and disasters. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Alexander Lake No 1 Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring infrastructure to ensure the safety and sustainability of our water supply systems.
