The dam behind Hubbard Creek Reservoir
Hubbard Creek Reservoir is held back by Hubbard Creek Dam , an earthfill embankment, holding the pool back by sheer mass and an impervious core rather than by the strength of concrete , standing 112 ft high and running 15,150 ft along its crest , built across HUBBARD CREEK in Stephens County , near CRYSTAL FALLS . It was completed in 1962 and modified in 1994S , and is owned by WEST CENTRAL TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT (a local government owner) , to a design credited to FREESE AND NICHOLS AND ENDRESS;FREESE AND NICHOLS AND ENDRESS.
Its recorded primary purpose is water supply — delivering water to its customers comes first, so drawdown here follows demand as much as it follows rainfall .
It is founded on rock;soil, with a earth core. Its outlet works use other controlled2;uncontrolled2.
NID classes it high hazard potential. That describes what a failure would cost downstream — loss of life would be expected — and says nothing about how likely a failure is, or what condition the dam is in. It has not been assigned a condition rating. That assessment is dated 03/24/2021.
At its normal pool the reservoir covers about 14,922 acres. NID records a maximum storage of 829,983 acre-ft against a normal storage of 324,983 acre-ft. Its maximum discharge capacity is 485,200 cubic feet per second. It is regulated by TCEQ.
