Sugar Hollow Reservoir, Moormans River

Sugar Hollow Dam was constructed in 1947 on the Moormans River to expand the public water supply system. An inflatable bladder was added to the spillway crest in 1999 to increase spillway capacity while maintaining original storage capacity. The normal pool with the inflatable bladder in the raised position is at Elevation 975 feet. At this normal pool condition, the existing reservoir storage is approximately 360 million gallons. This storage volume is based on a bathymetric survey performed in September 1995 following a landslide in the reservoir. The June 1995 event resulted from severe rainfall and approximately 70 million gallons of storage was lost.[1]
