Owned and regulated by the local government, the dam on Magby Creek was completed with a primary purpose of water supply. With a height of 20 feet and a length of 1750 feet, the dam boasts a storage capacity of 568 acre-feet and a normal storage of 384 acre-feet.
The dam, primarily an earth structure with a buttress core type, has undergone modifications in 1960 and 1984 to ensure its structural integrity. Despite its unsatisfactory condition assessment as of April 2021, the dam's hazard potential is not available, and it poses a moderate risk, according to the data. With uncontrolled and valve outlet gates, the dam has a spillway width of 100 feet and a maximum discharge of 4443 cubic feet per second. Given its critical role in water resource management, ongoing inspection and enforcement by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are crucial to maintaining the dam's safety and reliability for the community.
