Completed in 1969, this private-owned dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a serene oasis for visitors to enjoy. With a height of 16 feet and a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the TR-WEIRS CREEK, ensuring water availability for both human and environmental needs.
Operated under the oversight of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Lake Ann Dam represents a vital link in the state's water infrastructure. Despite its age, the dam's structural integrity remains sound, with a high hazard potential rating emphasizing the need for regular inspections and monitoring. With no spillway and limited emergency preparedness measures in place, the risk of potential hazards underscores the importance of ongoing risk management and maintenance efforts to safeguard both the dam and surrounding communities.
As a key feature of the Fort Worth District, Lake Ann Dam stands as a symbol of the intricate balance between water resource utilization and climate resilience. With its earth core design and buttress foundation, the dam exemplifies the engineering ingenuity required to harness natural resources while mitigating potential risks. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the preservation and sustainable management of Lake Ann Dam serve as a reminder of the critical role that infrastructure plays in supporting both human needs and environmental well-being in an ever-changing climate landscape.
