The earth dam, completed in 1964, stands at a height of 19 feet and has a hydraulic height of 14 feet. Its primary source of water is Houston Creek, making it a vital resource for the surrounding area. The dam has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 60 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres.
Despite its importance, Macumba Stockwater has been assessed to be in poor condition, with a low hazard potential. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet and a single slide gate for outlet control. The last inspection took place in September 2017, with a frequency of every 5 years. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with no specific risk management measures outlined. Overall, Macumba Stockwater provides crucial water resources for the community, but its condition may require attention to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the future.
