King #2, also known as Twin Lakes #2, is a privately owned earth dam located in Mesa, Colorado. Completed in 1940, this dam serves the primary purpose of water supply, with a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 43 acre-feet. The dam stands at 17 feet tall and stretches 130 feet in length, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area.
Situated on North East Creek-TR, King #2 is regulated and permitted by the Colorado Department of Water Resources (DWR). Despite being classified as low hazard potential with fair condition assessment, the dam poses a high risk due to its location and surrounding factors. With a maximum discharge capacity of 3800 cubic feet per second and no spillway, the dam's safety and maintenance are crucial for the community's water security.
Although last inspected in 2016, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 6 years, King #2's risk management measures and emergency preparedness remain unspecified. With a risk assessment rating of 2, enthusiasts and stakeholders in water resources and climate should monitor this dam closely to ensure its continued functionality and safety in the face of potential hazards.
