About Williams Lake Dam 2
The primary purpose of Williams Lake Dam 2 is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Billie Williams (private). It impounds the Tr-tebo Creek near Warsaw.
The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 720 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 13 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 100 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 340 square miles. Completed in 1981, the structure is 45 years 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.
