Hogback is a federal water structure located in Juab County, Utah, with a primary purpose of providing fire protection, stock, and small fish pond capabilities. Built in 1945, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet, with a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a length of 648 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 36.7 square miles, making it a vital resource for water supply in the region.

Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, Hogback is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safe operation and compliance with water resource regulations. The dam has a low hazard potential and is categorized as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Although the last inspection took place in May 2017 with a frequency of every 5 years, no emergency action plan (EAP) has been prepared, and there is limited information available on risk assessment and management measures for the structure.

Despite its modest size and limited risk profile, Hogback plays a crucial role in providing essential water services for fire protection, livestock, and recreational purposes in the area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Hogback will be increasingly important in ensuring the sustainable management and utilization of water in a changing environment.
