Tom Miller Dam
Tom Miller Dam is one of several dams constructed by the City of
Austin, Texas for the purpose of
flood control and for generating
hydroelectric power. Named for a former Mayor of Austin, the dam forms
Lake Austin, one of the
Texas Highland Lakes.
The dam is located at the site of the City's two previous dams, each of which were destroyed during major floods. It is currently leased to the Lower Colorado River Authority, who maintains and operates the dam.
