Bridgeport, a historic dam located in Mono County, California, stands as a vital piece of infrastructure for water supply in the region. Built in 1924, this earth dam on the East Walker River has a height of 63 feet and a storage capacity of 44,100 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes, including irrigation, recreation, and water supply, making it a crucial resource for the community.

Despite its age, Bridgeport Dam has been well-maintained and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition, with a high hazard potential due to its location and function. The dam is regulated by the California Department of Water Resources and is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and integrity. In the event of an emergency, an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is in place, with the last revision dated December 2020.

With its rich history and importance in water resource management, Bridgeport Dam serves as a testament to the ingenuity and foresight of early engineers in developing infrastructure to support growing communities. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and regulation of dams like Bridgeport will be essential in ensuring a sustainable water supply for future generations.
