Noble is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Routt, Colorado, along Sutton Creek. Built in 1909, this earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet and has a length of 200 feet, providing a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet and serving multiple purposes including irrigation, fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond maintenance. Despite its low hazard potential and not being rated for condition assessment, Noble has been regulated and inspected by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, ensuring its compliance with state permitting and enforcement regulations.

The dam's maximum discharge capacity is 68 cubic feet per second, with a surface area of 10 acres and a normal storage level of 33 acre-feet. The absence of a spillway and locks indicates a simpler structure, yet its critical role in water resource management for the surrounding area is paramount. Although it has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures like an Emergency Action Plan, Noble remains a crucial asset for maintaining water supply and irrigation needs in the region, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk management efforts to ensure its continued functionality and safety.
