About Rogers Farm Dam

The dam stands 34 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 17 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 232 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 147 square miles. Completed in 1979, the structure is 47 years old.
This dam carries a high hazard potential classification, which means that a failure or uncontrolled release of water would likely cause loss of human life. This classification reflects the consequences of failure, not the likelihood — it indicates that people live or work in the area downstream.
