Completed in 1912, this earth dam on Coon Creek serves primarily as a water supply structure with a storage capacity of 865 acre-feet. The dam, standing at a height of 36 feet and a length of 700 feet, is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity.
Despite its age, Justiceburg Lake Dam has been deemed to have a moderate risk level, with a hazard potential that is not available at the moment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 80 feet and two uncontrolled outlet gates. The dam has not been rated for its condition, and detailed risk management measures are yet to be disclosed. With its historical significance and vital role in water supply, Justiceburg Lake Dam remains a key structure in the water resource infrastructure of the region, a symbol of sustainable water management in the face of climate challenges.
