It has a storage capacity of 32 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 1.9 acres, serving as a critical water resource for the surrounding area.
With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, The Wall is regularly inspected every 5 years to ensure its safety and functionality. It features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet and an outlet gate with a valve.
