Emery is a privately owned dam located in Sanpete County, Utah, specifically in the city of Moore. Built in 1934 for irrigation purposes, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 25 feet with a hydraulic height of 21 feet. It has a storage capacity of 210 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 145 acre-feet. The dam spans 390 feet in length and is associated with the North Fork Muddy Creek, providing vital water resources for the area.
Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, Emery is a regulated structure that undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality. With a significant hazard potential, the dam is subject to a biennial inspection frequency to monitor its condition and address any potential risks. Despite not having a specific condition assessment rating, efforts are made to maintain the dam's integrity and mitigate any potential hazards that may arise.
As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Emery plays a crucial role in providing irrigation water to the surrounding agricultural lands. Its importance in water resource management and climate adaptation strategies underscores the need for ongoing maintenance and monitoring to safeguard the community from potential risks associated with dam failure.
