Koethe Dam #2, located in Warren County, Iowa, was completed in 2001 and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. The earth dam has a height of 26 feet and a length of 445 feet, with a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet. Situated on TR- Middle Creek via Lake Colchester, the dam is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.

Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Koethe Dam #2 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a width of 1 foot, and it is not equipped with outlet gates or locks. While the dam meets guidelines for emergency action plans, details such as the last inspection date and emergency contact information are not specified in the data. Overall, Koethe Dam #2 remains a vital resource for water management in the area, providing essential services while being subject to ongoing risk management measures to ensure its continued functionality and safety.
