Red Wash is a private water resource located in Uintah, Utah, with a primary purpose of irrigation. Constructed in 2008 by ESI Engineering, this off-channel dam on Deep Creek stands at a structural height of 80 feet and has a hydraulic height of 74 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 3059 acre-feet, serving as a crucial water source for the surrounding area.
Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, Red Wash is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and functionality. With a high hazard potential but a satisfactory condition assessment, this earth dam plays a vital role in supporting agricultural activities in the region. The dam's last inspection in July 2020 confirmed its compliance with safety standards, highlighting its importance in water resource management and climate adaptation efforts.
Located in the city of Lapoint, Red Wash contributes to the local economy by providing water for irrigation while also posing a potential risk in case of emergencies. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam meets guidelines and undergoes regular inspections to mitigate possible risks. As a significant water infrastructure in the region, Red Wash underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience for the community.
