Brief Reconnaissance Study for the Addition of Hydropower for Houston Lake Dam, Perry, Georgia
The feasibility of retrofitting the Houston Lake Dam near Perry, Georgia for power generation was examined. This run-of-the-river dam has a developable head of 17.5 ft, was built in 1842, had generating equipment installed in 1928 but thereafter abandoned, and now creates a recreational lake. The study of environmental, institutional, safety, and economic factors showed that this site appears to be feasible for rehabilitation for an investment cost of $187,000 plus dam repairs to meet safety requirements.
