Site #3 -
near Kyle
During the heavy rains in
Nov.2004,
the entire backside of this dam gave way in a slide. This
is why it is important that we maintain structures.
Plum Creek Conservation
District
has applied for
Emergency Watershed Protection assistance
to help repair
this structure.

This photo shows the influx of development around the lake
and the importance of their proper maintenance.

Site #3
This shows a small lake with the new Kyle High school in the background.
It also shows the principal spillway, which goes to a concrete drain
underwater.
When a dam catches too much water for the principal
spillway to release, the water backs up to an emergency spillway, as
in Site 31 near Tilmon.
