This private dam along Crockett Creek is primarily designed for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond usage, with a normal storage capacity of 148 acre-feet. With a dam height of 33 feet and a length of 735 feet, the Earth-type structure serves as a key water resource for the area.
Managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam has not been rated for its condition, yet it poses a high risk due to its hazard potential. Despite lacking a spillway, the dam's structural integrity remains crucial for water management in the region. The surrounding community benefits from the reservoir's storage capacity of 414 acre-feet, ensuring reliable irrigation for agricultural activities in the area.
As a significant infrastructure for water resource management, the Crockett Creek Lake Dam plays a crucial role in sustaining the local ecosystem and economy. With a risk assessment indicating a high potential for hazards, continued monitoring and maintenance of the dam are essential to safeguard its functionality and ensure the uninterrupted flow of water for irrigation and other purposes in the region.
