Fruita #2 is a local government-owned dam located in Whitewater, Colorado, along the North East Creek-TR. This earth dam, completed in 1959, stands at a height of 40 feet and serves the primary purpose of water supply. With a storage capacity of 238 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 692 cubic feet per second, Fruita #2 plays a vital role in the water resource management of the area.

Despite its significant hazard potential and unsatisfactory condition assessment, Fruita #2 is equipped with slide, uncontrolled, and valve outlet gates. The dam spans 950 feet in length and covers a surface area of 14 acres. Its inspection frequency is set at 2 times a year, with the last assessment conducted in June 2020. While the dam lacks a spillway, it is recognized as a critical infrastructure in the region's water distribution network, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts to ensure its structural integrity and safety for surrounding communities and the environment.
