Long Pond, located in Larimer County, Colorado, is a private water supply and storage reservoir with a rich history dating back to its completion in 1922. With a capacity of 4750 acre-feet, this earth dam structure serves primarily for irrigation purposes, but also offers recreational opportunities for nearby residents. The dam stands at a height of 34 feet, with a hydraulic height of 32 feet, ensuring a normal storage level of 3500 acre-feet.
Managed by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, Long Pond is subject to state regulations for inspection, permitting, and enforcement to maintain its structural integrity and ensure public safety. Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in June 2020 deemed it satisfactory. With a moderate risk assessment rating, measures are in place to manage potential risks and emergencies, though specific details regarding emergency action planning and risk management are not currently available. Overall, Long Pond stands as a vital resource for water supply and recreation in the Fort Collins area, playing a crucial role in the local ecosystem and serving as a testament to early 20th-century engineering.
