Crystal Springs Dam is a gravity dam constructed across the San Mateo Creek impounding water to form the Lower Crystal Springs Reservoir in San Mateo County California. It was among the first concrete gravity dams built in the western United States.The structure was completed in 1888 and has survived both the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake — despite its location directly on the San Andreas Fault.
