Diamond Hill Reservoir

The Pawtucket Upper Reservoir, commonly known as Diamond Hill Reservoir, is a reservoir next to Diamond Hill in Cumberland, Providence County, Rhode Island.

The earthen Diamond Hill Reservoir Dam, which has an 80-foot height and a crest length of 2000 feet, was built in 1971. The Abbott Run stream is impounded for use as a municipal water supply.

It produces a reservoir with a typical surface area of 390 acres, a maximum storage capacity of 15,680 acre-feet, and a typical storage area of 11,000 acre-feet. The Arnold Mills Reservoir is located directly to the south.
