The dam, completed in 1976, is an earth-type structure standing at 16 feet tall and spanning 500 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 2 square miles, the dam regulates the flow of the TR-Lulu Lake and Mukwonago River.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam at Kettle Moraine Estates Corp poses a very high risk due to its location and potential impact in case of failure. The emergency action plan (EAP) for the dam was last revised in 2012, and regular inspections are conducted to ensure its structural integrity. With a controlled spillway and a maximum discharge capacity of 300 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area while offering recreational opportunities for visitors.
