Lindon City Irrigation Project Zone Iii dam
Lindon City Irrigation Project Zone Iii
The Lindon City Irrigation Project Zone III is a vital water supply infrastructure owned and regulated by the local government in Utah. This project, completed in 1993, serves as a crucial source of water for Lindon City residents, with a primary purpose of water supply. The dam, with a hydraulic height of 20 feet and a structural height of 23 feet, has a maximum storage capacity of 22 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 17.8 acre-feet, ensuring a reliable water source for the community.
Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, the Lindon City Irrigation Project Zone III is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and reliability. With a high hazard potential but a satisfactory condition assessment, this infrastructure plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. Located in Utah County, this project showcases the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and security of water resources for the community.
As climate change impacts water resources, projects like Lindon City Irrigation Project Zone III serve as essential components of a resilient water supply system. With its strategic location and capacity to provide a reliable water source, this infrastructure plays a critical role in meeting the water needs of Lindon City residents. Through ongoing inspection and regulation by the Utah Division of Water Rights, the Lindon City Irrigation Project Zone III demonstrates a commitment to ensuring the sustainability and safety of water resources in the region, making it a key asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and support.
Dam data reference
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 Lindon City Irrigation Project Zone Iii
Where does the data for Lindon City Irrigation Project Zone Iii 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 High 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.
