Fetters Dam, located in Wayne County, Iowa, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1993 with a primary purpose of serving as a fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. This structure, designed by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), stands at a height of 25 feet and spans a length of 290 feet, with a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet. Situated along the TR-Locust Creek, the dam is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and is subject to state inspections and enforcement.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Fetters Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. The dam's reservoir covers a surface area of 2.8 acres and has a normal storage capacity of 21 acre-feet, providing valuable water resources for fire protection and livestock use. While the dam does not have a spillway, its uncontrolled spillway type ensures proper water drainage in case of excess inflow. Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its state-regulated status and adherence to inspection and enforcement protocols ensure its continued functionality and safety for the surrounding community.
