About Evers Dam

The primary purpose of Evers 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 Edwin Evers (private). It impounds the Tributary to Rebb Creek.

The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 1,300 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 34 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 340 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles.

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.
