The Deerfield Reservoir Dam is a storage reservoir within the City of Utica Board of Water Supply's system. The reservoir consists of an inflow pool, which was originally used as a settling basin, and the main storage pool. A division weir separates the two pools. The dam is formed by an earthen embankment with a puddle core wall which surrounds the two pools of the reservoir. The total length of the embankment is 3520 feet. All flow into the reservoir is controlled by valves on one 16-inch and one 24-inch inflow pipe. A 20-inch supply main and a 20-inch waste pipe are used to withdraw water from the reservoir. Additional outflow capacity is provided by the waste weir segment at the northern end of the dam. Assuming a normal water level in the reservoir, the runoff resulting from the Probable Maximum Precipitation can safely be stored and discharged through the waste weir section. Therefore, the spillway capacity is assessed as being adequate.
