Built in 1922, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and spans 600 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a maximum storage capacity of 750 acre-feet. The dam, designed by Johnson & Pace Inc., holds back the waters of TR-Village Creek and has a surface area of 42 acres.
Despite its age, Glass Club Dam has undergone modifications in 2016 to improve its hydraulic capabilities. The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and is subject to regular inspections, with the most recent assessment in January 2018 rating its condition as fair. In the event of an emergency, the dam has an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet and one outlet gate.
With a moderate risk assessment rating, Glass Club Dam continues to provide recreational opportunities for visitors while also serving as a vital structure for water resource management in the region. Its historical significance and ongoing maintenance efforts highlight the importance of sustainable infrastructure development in the face of evolving climate challenges.
