Completed in 1935, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 33 feet with a length of 495 feet, holding a maximum storage capacity of 161 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the TR-WICHITA RIVER and serves as a hub for outdoor activities in the area.
Despite its historical significance and recreational value, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor, with a moderate risk rating. The last inspection in 2015 revealed the need for potential improvements to ensure the safety and longevity of the structure. With a spillway width of 150 feet and uncontrolled outlet gates, the dam poses a certain level of risk that warrants attention and proactive risk management measures.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the City Reservoir Dam, they are met with a blend of natural beauty and engineering marvel. The dam's age and condition add a layer of complexity to its role in the community, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and potential upgrades to safeguard both the reservoir and surrounding areas from any potential hazards.
