Hill Number 2 Dam, located in Washoe County, Nevada, serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with additional functions for fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond management. The dam, completed in 1974, stands at a height of 27 feet and has a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. The dam is constructed with earth and stone materials, with a spillway width of 15 feet for controlled water release.

Despite being privately owned, the Hill Number 2 Dam is regulated and inspected by the Nevada Division of Water Resources to ensure its safety and compliance with state standards. The dam has a low hazard potential and is in fair condition, with a moderate risk assessment rating. The last inspection in October 2020 confirmed the dam's structural integrity and functionality, with emergency preparedness measures being assessed for future improvements. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the sustainable management of this dam for agricultural and environmental benefits in the region.
