About Indian Pond
The primary purpose of Indian Pond is hydroelectric. The dam generates hydroelectric power by channeling water through turbines, converting the energy of flowing water into electricity. The dam is owned by St. Albans (local government). It impounds the Indian near Hartland.
The dam stands 12 feet tall and stretches 380 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1,135 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 5,808 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 30 square miles. Completed in 1900, the structure is over a century old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 07/15/2002. That was over 23 years ago.
