The dam and lake are part of the Turtle Creek Recreation Area, and is owned by a local community group.

In October 2008, the Association signed a partnership with Modern Hydro to have the power plant's turbines refurbished and recommissioned.

[9] The southern embankment of the Delhi Dam failed on July 24, due to a period of about 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall in twelve hours.

[13] Water eventually overtopped the dam, causing a 200 ft (61 m) long portion of the embankment and roadway to erode away and the lake to empty.

[14] In December 2010, an independent panel of engineers published a study that determined the cause of the failure "was internal erosion in the embankment coupled with overtopping flow".

The study believes that a malfunctioning spillway gate and increase reservoir size may have exacerbated an existing problem with the dam's design.
