The East Fork Diversion, located in Boulder Town, Utah, is a key hydroelectric facility designed by Harza Engineering and completed in 1958. This Earth-type dam spans 630 feet in length and stands at a height of 29 feet, with a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is for hydroelectric power generation, with irrigation as a secondary purpose.

Operated by a public utility, the East Fork Diversion is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights and inspected regularly by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam is considered to be in good condition. The surrounding area, including the East Fork Boulder Creek, benefits from the controlled discharge of up to 4000 cubic feet per second and a surface area of 2.2 acres.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the East Fork Diversion serves as a noteworthy example of sustainable water management and renewable energy production. By harnessing the power of East Fork Boulder Creek, this dam contributes to the local economy while mitigating risks associated with flooding and drought. With its impressive engineering and regulatory oversight, the East Fork Diversion stands as a vital component of Utah's water infrastructure and a model for responsible hydroelectric development.
