The dam is a 32-foot high earth structure with a length of 660 feet, designed to hold a maximum storage capacity of 125 acre-feet of water. Situated on the TR-North Bosque River, the dam does not have a spillway and is owned privately, with no federal agency involvement in its construction, funding, or regulation.
Despite its age, Fillingim Lake Dam has not undergone recent inspections or condition assessments, with its hazard potential labeled as "Not Available." The risk assessment for the dam is considered high, indicating the need for proactive risk management measures. With its location in a high-risk zone and limited regulatory oversight, there is a potential for safety concerns that should be addressed to ensure the integrity of the structure and the safety of the surrounding community. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Fillingim Lake Dam an interesting case study for the challenges of managing aging infrastructure in rural areas.
