National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. South Village Dam (MA 00107), Thames River Basin, Dudley, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report
South Village Pond Dam was reconstructed in 1939. The structure is a concrete gravity dam approximately 160 feet long and 18 feet high. The center portion of the dam is a curved overflow section forming an ogee weir approximately 108 feet long. The overflow section contains a waste gate near its left end. To the left of the dam, there is an abandoned canal. The canal wall adjacent to the river if a concrete gravity section with a 100 foot overflow spillway approximately 90 feet downstream of the dam. Downstream of the overflow spillway, there is an abandoned timber gate structure for the canal. The facility is considered in fair condition. Stone masonry walls at the left abutment of the dam have collapsed or have been washed away by flood. Erosion of the abutment area has taken place. Concrete surface erosion has occurred at both abutments of the dam. Hydrologic analysis indicates that the spillway capacity with water surface at the top of the dam structures is approximately 3,200 cfs with another 1,450 cfs going over the canal overflow spillway which totals to about 30 percent of the routed test flood outflow of 15,600 cfs. The estimated test flood stage is approximately 4.5 feet above the dam abutments at which time significant submergence of the dam would be present.
