Sugar Cane Springs Dam, located in Washoe, Nevada, is a private-owned structure regulated by the Nevada Division of Water Resources. This earth dam, standing at a height of 35 feet with a hydraulic height of 30 feet, serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a capacity of 48 acre-feet of water storage. The dam also provides fire protection, stock watering, and supports a small fish pond.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, highlighting the need for maintenance and improvements. The last inspection in July 2020 revealed the structure's deteriorating state, warranting immediate attention to ensure its reliability and safety. With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, it is essential for the owners to implement risk management measures and prioritize the dam's rehabilitation to mitigate any potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding community and environment.
