Anderson #6 is a local government-owned dam located in Grand Junction, Colorado, along the Kahnah Creek-TR. Completed in 1929, this earth dam serves primarily as a water supply source, with a storage capacity of 122 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 3,454 cubic feet per second. The dam stands at a height of 18 feet, with a structural height of 23 feet and a length of 390 feet.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Anderson #6 is deemed to be in fair condition as of its last assessment in August 2017. The dam is subject to state regulation and inspection by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, ensuring its continued safety and operation. Emergency action plans are in place, though their adherence to guidelines and preparedness for potential risks remain unspecified.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Anderson #6 an interesting site to study, given its historical significance and critical role in supplying water to the local community. With its low hazard potential and fair condition, ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts are essential to ensure the dam's continued safety and reliability in the face of potential climate-related challenges.
