The Rexmont Dams are located in Cornwall, PA (Lebanon County).
There are two dams--one lower (on the South side of Rexmont Road) and one upper (on the North side of Rexmont Road). The 2 dams were constructed in the late 19th century to serve as a public drinking water source for Lebanon City (notice the metal pump sticking up out of the ground in the middle of the dry upper dam).
After a newer facility was constructed, the dams were used for recreational purposes.
In 1999, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection found the lower dam to be unstable. Deciding it was cheaper and easier to destroy than to repair, the lower dam was removed about 2 years later. After further investigation, the Commonwealth also believed that the lower section of the upper dam was in danger of being breached by the water that it was containing and was destroyed shortly after.
