About Ingram Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Ingram Lake Dam is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by City Of Clovis (local government). It impounds the Blackwater Draw.
The dam stands 12 feet tall and stretches 4,533 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 219 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 2,149 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 20 square miles. Completed in 1999, the structure is 27 years old.
This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life. Its condition is rated satisfactory, indicating no existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. The most recent inspection on record was 04/21/2015. That was over 10 years ago.
