Designed by Gilson Engineering and completed in 2003, this earth dam structure has a hydraulic height of 29 feet and a structural height of 32 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 83 acre-feet. The pond covers an area of approximately 68.15 acres and has a maximum discharge rate of 26.7 cubic feet per second.
Regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, the Spanish Fork Pressure Irrigation Pond is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and functionality. With a high hazard potential, the dam is classified as being in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in 2003. Despite its critical role in providing irrigation water for the area, the dam has not been modified since its construction and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
In the event of an emergency, the pond's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures remain unspecified. Nonetheless, the Spanish Fork Pressure Irrigation Pond serves as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the region, contributing to agricultural activities and supporting the local community's water needs.
