National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Saville Dam (CT 00376), Farmington River Basin, Barkhamsted, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
The Saville Dam is an earth embankment with a concrete core that is 1,950 feet long and 135 feet high. It has an emergency spillway and three diversion conduits. The dam and its appurtenant structures are in good condition. The project will not pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) (Recommended Spillway Design Flood) without overtopping the dam. However, the spillway capacity it not judged seriously inadequate as the project will pass approximately 90 percent of the PMF before the dam is overtopped. The spillway can pass the PMF if a 200 foot section of the eastern portion of the dam is sandbagged. This condition is known by the engineering staff of the Metropolitan District. Some recommended to be undertaken by the owner include establishing metering points for seepage measurement and repairs to the upper gate house bridge.
