Anderson #2 is a dam located in Mesa County, Colorado, specifically in the city of Grand Junction. Built in 1974, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a hydraulic height of 23 feet, with a structural height of 35 feet. The primary purpose of Anderson #2 is for water supply, with a storage capacity of 595 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 1119 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 2750 feet and covers a surface area of 90 acres, making it a significant water resource infrastructure in the area.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, Anderson #2 is considered to have a hazard potential of "significant" and a condition assessment of "fair." The last inspection conducted in August 2019 revealed that the dam is in relatively good condition, but with a risk assessment rating of "High (2)." The dam does not have a spillway, but is equipped with slide (sluice gate) and uncontrolled outlet gates. With its strategic location on Kannah Creek, Anderson #2 plays a crucial role in water supply management in the region, attracting the attention of water resource and climate enthusiasts alike.
