This privately owned earth dam, completed in 1968, spans 600 feet in length and reaches a height of 25 feet, providing essential water storage for agriculture in the region. The dam, situated on the TR-WHITE ROCK CREEK, boasts a maximum storage capacity of 88 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9.1 acres.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Seis Lagos No 5 Dam has undergone regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in April 2015. The dam's uncontrolled spillway, one of its key features, is 40 feet wide, ensuring proper water discharge during times of excess flow. While the dam's hazard potential and condition rating are currently not available, its moderate risk assessment suggests a need for continuous monitoring and risk management measures to ensure its long-term stability and functionality. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Seis Lagos No 5 Dam to be a fascinating example of human intervention in water management, serving as a vital lifeline for irrigation in the region.
