Facts & Figures
Construction of Great Falls Dam began in 1915 and was completed in 1916.
Great Falls is one of seven dams acquired by TVA from private companies, and it’s the only TVA dam located outside the Tennessee River watershed.
Great Falls Reservoir is 22 miles long and has 120 miles of winding shoreline and about 1,830 acres of water surface.
Great Falls has a flood-storage capacity of 30,500 acre-feet.
The dam is 92 feet high and stretches 800 feet across the Caney Fork River.
The hydroelectric power plant at Great Falls Dam consists of two generating units.

For some reason the name of the road isn't coming to me but anyways. He is doing it to keep the people that are normally scared to make the run to the river out of there so they won't gps all of the underwater hazards that are now out of the water. Also, to keep them from cutting down or marking th hazards for just any yahoo to go up there. There is about 10 or so guys that always fish up there and they want it all to themselves. They have been known to take out markers that mark hazards.

The Water District actually pumps OUT of Richland Chambers INTO Benbrook. We also have the ability to pump OUT of Benbrook, and INTO Eagle Mountain.
We are not "feeding" the Trinity River Project with water from anywhere.
I mean no disrespect, these are common misconceptions. If you'd like, I might be able to arrange a tour of the pumping facilities at Benbrook sometime.
