PROJECT PURPOSE

The Overholser Dam has been identified as a high hazard dam in poor condition. This project will provide improvements to the Overholser Dam Gate House, Overholser Bypass Canal, Bluff Creek Canal Inlet, and the Hefner Canal Gatehouse. The Overholser Dam is instrumental in controlling the river's flow into the northeast part of Overholser Reservoir and into the Bluff Creek Canal leading to Hefner Reservoir. These improvements provide a level of safety to ensure uninterrupted operation of the dam to maintain appropriate water levels in the rivers, canals, and reservoirs.
