Mitchell Creek, located in Parker, Colorado, is a privately-owned water supply dam that was completed in 1987. The dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a length of 1500 feet, providing a storage capacity of 85 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of water supply, Mitchell Creek serves the surrounding area by regulating water flow and storage for various uses.
While the dam has a low hazard potential, it is considered to have a high risk due to its age and lack of recent assessments. The condition of the dam has not been rated, and it has not undergone inspection since 1994. Despite its limited drainage area and lack of spillway, Mitchell Creek continues to be a vital resource for water management in the region. Climate enthusiasts and water resource professionals may find Mitchell Creek's design and function intriguing as they consider the impact of aging infrastructure on water supply systems in a changing climate.
