Edina City Reservoir Dam dam
Edina City Reservoir Dam
The Edina City Reservoir Dam, also known as Edina Reservoir Sec-12 Dam, is a key water resource in Knox, Missouri. Completed in 1956, this earth dam stands at a height of 40 feet and has a length of 800 feet, providing crucial storage capacity for water supply and recreation purposes. With a normal storage capacity of 223 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 693 acre-feet, the dam serves as a vital source of water for the community.
Located on the TR-N Fork South Fabius River, the Edina City Reservoir Dam is regulated by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG, ensuring that it meets state inspection and enforcement standards. The dam has a low hazard potential and is assessed to be in satisfactory condition, with inspections conducted every 5 years. Despite a moderate risk rating, the dam has not had any major modifications since its construction, highlighting its structural integrity and reliability in managing water resources effectively.
With its scenic location and recreational opportunities, the Edina City Reservoir Dam plays a crucial role in providing water supply and leisure activities for the community. Managed by the local government, this earth dam continues to serve as a sustainable and essential infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Edina City Reservoir Dam
Where does the data for Edina City Reservoir Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
