The dam stands at a height of 33 feet and spans 360 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 84 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the tranquil waters of TR-Copperas Creek, offering a picturesque setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and enjoy outdoor activities.
Despite its scenic beauty, Tahitian Village Lake No 1 Dam has been flagged as unsatisfactory in its condition assessment, with the last inspection in November 2015 revealing areas in need of improvement. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a width of 1 foot, and there is one uncontrolled outlet gate. The risk assessment categorizes the dam as having a moderate risk level (3) and notes the need for potential risk management measures to be implemented. Overall, while Tahitian Village Lake No 1 Dam provides a serene environment for recreation, there are important safety and maintenance considerations that need to be addressed to ensure its long-term sustainability and functionality.
