Built in 1963 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and spans a length of 4370 feet, with a storage capacity of 1140 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is to provide flood protection, but it also serves other functions such as fire protection, stock and small fish pond, and habitat for fish and wildlife.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. Despite lacking a spillway, the Mukewater Creek WS SCS Site 3 Dam is rated as having high risk potential and is currently not rated for condition assessment. With its strategic location and design, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region, safeguarding communities and ecosystems from the impacts of extreme weather events.
