Built in 1930, this structure serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a serene environment for water enthusiasts to enjoy various activities. With a height of 11 feet and a storage capacity of 250 acre-feet, Millhome provides a tranquil setting covering 51 acres with a drainage area of 168 square miles.
Despite its age, Millhome has been well-maintained, with a fair condition assessment as of May 2020 and a low hazard potential. The dam's spillway is controlled, and it has a maximum discharge capacity of 3,595 cubic feet per second. The risk assessment for the dam is very high (1), indicating a need for vigilant monitoring and management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Millhome stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management in the face of climate change. Its location in a high-risk area underscores the need for continuous assessment and preparedness to mitigate potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding community and environment.
