Fairmount Reservoir, located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, is a public utility-owned water supply facility designed by Tuttle Applegate. Completed in 1993, this earth dam structure stands at 35 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 34 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 1156 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 981 acre-feet, the reservoir serves as a vital water source for the surrounding area. The dam's spillway, classified as uncontrolled, has a width of 4 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 57 cubic feet per second.

Despite its satisfactory condition assessment as of October 2020, Fairmount Reservoir has been assigned a high hazard potential due to its design and location. The reservoir is regulated and inspected by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, ensuring that it meets state permitting and enforcement guidelines. In the event of an emergency, the facility is equipped with valve outlet gates, but the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are currently unspecified. With its strategic position on Clear Creek-OS, Fairmount Reservoir plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Jefferson County, Colorado.
