Owned by the local government, this earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 480 acre-feet. The dam overlooks Harris Creek and has a spillway width of 90 feet, with uncontrolled outlet gates.
Despite its historical significance, Lake Lomond Dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, with a moderate risk level assigned. The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. With a drainage area of 4.8 square miles and a normal storage capacity of 141 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
As an essential infrastructure for water management, Lake Lomond Dam faces challenges in maintaining its structural integrity and ensuring public safety. With a risk assessment rating of moderate and a poor condition assessment, the dam's future maintenance and risk management measures must be carefully planned to avoid potential hazards and ensure continued water resource sustainability for the surrounding communities.
