Clegg Lake (Aka Clyde Lake) dam
Clegg Lake (Aka Clyde Lake)
Clegg Lake, also known as Clyde Lake, is a privately owned reservoir located in Wasatch County, Utah. Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this earth dam structure was completed in 1930 for irrigation purposes. With a height of 18 feet and a hydraulic height of 15 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 134 acre-feet, providing water for agricultural use in the area.
Situated along Lake Creek, this significant water resource covers a drainage area of 0.3 square miles and has a normal storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam is regularly inspected by state authorities, with the last inspection conducted in June 2020. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the hazard potential is considered significant, highlighting the importance of proper management and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Clegg Lake offers a fascinating example of early 20th-century water infrastructure in Utah. As a crucial component of the local irrigation system, this reservoir plays a vital role in supporting agriculture in the region. With its historical significance and ongoing regulatory oversight, Clegg Lake serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing water demands.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Clegg Lake (Aka Clyde Lake)
Where does the data for Clegg Lake (Aka Clyde Lake) come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
