Jones is a privately owned dam located in Heber City, Utah, along Lake Creek. Built in 1956 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 36 feet and has a hydraulic height of 31 feet. With a storage capacity of 228 acre-feet, Jones primarily serves the purpose of irrigation in the area. However, despite its crucial role in water resource management, the dam is classified as having a high hazard potential and is currently in poor condition.
The Utah Division of Water Rights regulates Jones, overseeing its permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes. The dam is situated in the Wasatch County, Utah, and falls under the jurisdiction of the state. With a history of modification and a last inspection date in October 2020, Jones is in need of attention to ensure its structural integrity and safety for both the surrounding community and the environment. Despite its age, the dam remains a vital component of the local water supply system, highlighting the importance of ongoing maintenance and risk assessment for sustainable water resource management in the region.
