Mower is a local government-owned fish and wildlife pond located in Westminster, Colorado. Built in 1885, this earth dam stands at 11 feet high with a hydraulic height of 5 feet and a structural height of 10 feet. With a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet, Mower serves as a recreational area while also supporting wildlife in the surrounding environment.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam at Mower is classified as unsatisfactory in terms of condition assessment, with the last inspection conducted in 2010. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a spillway width of 10 feet. Although the risk assessment is moderate, there are no documented emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared for this structure. Given its historical significance and importance for wildlife and recreation, it is crucial to prioritize safety and maintenance measures to ensure the longevity and functionality of Mower for years to come.
