USACE, Philadelphia District posted three photos with the comment: "Beltzville Dam was officially commissioned 54 years ago in 1971!🎉 The construction of this Dam was authorized primarily for flood risk management, water supply, and low flow augmentation; and authorized secondarily for water quality and recreation purposes. Since its construction, Beltzville Dam has prevented millions in flood damages, and continues to reduce flooding in communities along the Lehigh River."
