[2] When the water level is low enough this concrete dam serves as a river crossing for vehicles and pedestrians.
The station receives water from a head race that runs along the east side of the river for approximately 200 metres.
This system is mostly automated and can be managed and monitored from the central control office located on the western bank of the Nandu.
At 12:00, August 19, 2016, after Tropical Storm Dianmu brought heavy rains, the water level at the dam reached 13.35 metres, a ten-year high.
[1] This prompted a yellow alert indicating that water levels for the Nandu River downstream of the dam would be around two metres higher than normal.
