This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and stretches 550 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet. The dam, situated on Martins Creek, is not regulated by the state and has not been inspected or assessed for condition since May 1979.
Despite its age and lack of recent maintenance inspections, Gilliam Dam No 1 poses a high risk (rated 2) due to its unknown hazard potential and condition assessment. With no spillway in place and minimal information available on its structural integrity, water resource and climate enthusiasts may find this dam intriguing for further study and analysis. The dam's association with irrigation and its location in Texas make it a significant point of interest in understanding water management practices and potential risks associated with aging infrastructure.
