Completed in 1939, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 51 acre-feet. The dam, situated on Lance Creek, serves as a vital resource for the surrounding area, with a normal storage capacity of 30 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres.

Despite its low hazard potential, Water Storage is currently in poor condition, as indicated by the last inspection in May 2019.
