Summary
With a height of 23 feet and a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in flood control and irrigation in the region. Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, it is subject to regular inspections by the OWRB to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency.
The dam's controlled spillway type and valve outlet provide necessary measures for managing water flow and preventing potential risks. The surrounding area is monitored for emergency response readiness, with a very high risk assessment due to its critical importance in the local water resource infrastructure. While the condition of Jett No.3 is currently unrated, its historical significance and contribution to the region's water supply make it a key feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts to study and appreciate.
Overall, Jett No.3 serves as a prime example of the collaboration between private ownership and government agencies in ensuring sustainable water management practices. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Jett No.3 play a vital role in maintaining the balance between human needs and environmental conservation. Its presence highlights the ongoing efforts to safeguard water resources for future generations and underscores the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance in the face of evolving climate challenges.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
