Pollywog Lake, nestled in the scenic Garfield County of Utah, is a private water resource managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights. Built in 1947 for irrigation purposes, this earth dam stands at 13 feet high and spans 505 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 800 acre-feet. Located in Antimony, Pollywog Lake is a vital part of the local water infrastructure, regulating water flow from Antelope Spring for offstream use.
Despite its low hazard potential, Pollywog Lake undergoes regular inspections and enforcement by state agencies to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. The last inspection in 2005 revealed no significant concerns, earning the dam a "Not Rated" condition assessment. With a designated emergency action plan and a five-year inspection frequency, Pollywog Lake stands as a reliable water source for irrigation in the region, contributing to sustainable water management practices in the area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Pollywog Lake serves as a fascinating example of how private dams play a crucial role in local water systems and agriculture.
