not what I pictured under description of "lake".

 

That's more like a pond.  

And there's really nothing below it,  the creek quickly flows into the Trinity.  So a burst might flood/damage Green Oaks Blvd, part of a golf course, but probably not the water treatment plant, since GO Blvd and the surrounding flood plain are below the level of the plant's flood walls.

Yeah that "lake" is pretty small and looks to be very shallow. The debris from the dam will be a bigger problem than the water released.
