Summary

4 is a crucial infrastructure owned by the local government in Wasatch, Utah, designed to manage wastewater and contribute to irrigation purposes. This facility, regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, is located near the Provo River and has been in operation since 1982. With a maximum storage capacity of 532 acre-feet, it plays a vital role in maintaining water resources in the region.

Despite being classified as low hazard potential, Heber Valley Wastewater No. 4 undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. The facility's emergency preparedness, risk assessment, and management measures are not thoroughly documented, indicating a need for further evaluation and improvement in these areas. As a key component of water infrastructure in the region, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to guarantee its continued effectiveness and safety.

Overall, Heber Valley Wastewater No. 4 serves as a critical link in the water management system of the area, supporting both irrigation and environmental needs. As climate change continues to impact water resources, facilities like this will become increasingly important in ensuring sustainable water usage and resilience in the face of changing conditions. Continuous efforts to enhance its emergency response capabilities and risk management strategies will be vital in safeguarding this vital resource for the community.

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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
