Built in 1929 for recreational purposes, the dam stands at 14 feet high and has a length of 155 feet, with a storage capacity of 115 acre-feet. However, despite its historical significance, the dam is in poor condition and poses a significant hazard potential, according to the last inspection conducted in October 2015.
The dam is regulated by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and undergoes regular inspections, with a frequency of every three years. Despite its current condition, the dam has not undergone any significant modifications or risk management measures. The surrounding area has a drainage area of 0.32 square miles, and the dam's surface area covers 17 acres. With its location in Orange County, Vermont, water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Day-Bruorton's history and current state of interest for further study and potential rehabilitation efforts in the future.
