Gunnison City, located in Sanpete County, Utah, is home to a privately-owned dam regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights. This earth dam, with a hydraulic height of 11.2 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other." The dam, with a length of 500 feet and a storage capacity of 19.5 acre-feet, is inspected by state authorities and deemed to have a significant hazard potential.

With a spillway width of 4 feet and a maximum discharge rate of 8.6 cubic feet per second, Gunnison City's dam presents a unique water resource management challenge in the region. While the condition assessment of the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated," the regular inspection schedule and state enforcement ensure that necessary measures are in place to mitigate potential risks. The dam's proximity to the Los Angeles District of the US Army Corps of Engineers adds an additional layer of oversight to its operations and maintenance.
