L.A. Bar, also known as Reddert Reservoir or Hackley Place Reservoir, is a privately owned dam located in Montezuma County, Colorado. Built in 1945 for irrigation purposes, this Earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet with a structural height of 20 feet and a length of 525 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and covers an area of 11 acres, serving as a vital water source for agriculture in the region.
Managed by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, L.A. Bar is regulated, inspected, and maintained to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and is considered to be in fair condition as of its last assessment in 2012. With a moderate risk level, measures are in place to manage any potential risks associated with the dam, such as a slide gate outlet and an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 7 feet.
Located along Chicken Creek-TR, L.A. Bar plays a crucial role in providing water for irrigation, fire protection, stock, and small fish ponds in the area. Its presence underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management in a changing climate, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the continued safety and reliability of this essential infrastructure.
