This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and stretches 700 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. Situated on Indian Creek, the dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the area, supporting not only water supply but also recreational activities on its 31-acre surface area.
While the dam lacks a spillway and is classified as having a high risk potential, it remains in a condition that is not rated for assessment. Despite the absence of certain safety features, such as an emergency action plan and inundation maps, the dam continues to stand as a reliable water infrastructure for the community. With no state jurisdiction or enforcement, the responsibility for inspection and maintenance falls on the private owner, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety and effectiveness of Linsey Lake Dam for the future.
