Utt Dam, located in Keosauqua, Iowa, is a private-owned structure designed by French-Reneker Associates for flood risk reduction. Completed in 2016, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Utt Dam is flood risk reduction, but it also serves for grade stabilization and other purposes.

Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Utt Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Utt Dam provides essential protection against flooding in the region. Its emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently not available, indicating a need for updated preparedness and risk assessment protocols to ensure the safety of the surrounding community in case of emergencies.
