Hoopes Reservoir is a reservoir in New Castle County, Delaware.
The reservoir first impounded the water of Old Mill Stream and Red Clay Creek in 1932, with a dam built by the city of Wilmington, Delaware, for municipal drinking water. It has a water surface of 187 acres, a maximum capacity of 11,000 acre-feet, and a normal capacity of 6300 acre-feet.〔http://findlakes.com/main.php?Edgar%20M.%20Hoopes%20Dam〕 The reservoir and its surroundings have been closed to the public since 1971, except for one day every year when members of the Delaware Nature Society are permitted a tour.〔http://02b93fb.netsolhost.com/blog/2009/03/17/hoopes-reservoir-hike/〕 It is the largest reservoir in Delaware.
The dam, Edgar M. Hoopes Dam (National ID # DE00015), is a concrete gravity dam originally built in 1932 and restructured several times since. It is 135 feet high and 845 feet in length at the crest.〔http://findlakes.com/main.php?Edgar%20M.%20Hoopes%20Dam〕 Its namesake, Edgar M. Hoopes, was Chief Engineer of the Wilmington Water Department from 1913 through 1918, according to a plaque on site.〔http://02b93fb.netsolhost.com/blog/2009/03/17/hoopes-reservoir-hike/〕
