Owned by the local government, this dam plays a significant role in water supply management in the area. With a dam height of 22 feet and a storage capacity of 340.3 acre-feet, the West Pre-Sedimentation Basin serves as a key infrastructure for storing and regulating water from the Verdigris River-Old Channel.
Despite its age, the West Pre-Sedimentation Basin is in satisfactory condition and is regularly inspected and maintained by the OWRB. However, due to its high hazard potential and very high risk assessment rating, there is a need for continuous monitoring and risk management measures to ensure its safety and effectiveness in the face of climate change and extreme weather events. The basin covers an area of 18 acres and has a drainage area of 0.03 square miles, making it a vital component of the water supply system in Wagoner County, Oklahoma.
