Summary

Managed by a private entity and regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this reservoir serves as a vital resource for the local community in Salt Lake County. With a capacity of 136 acre-feet and a hydraulic height of 15 feet, the dam plays a critical role in ensuring water supply reliability in the region.

Despite its relatively small size, Point of The Mountain Raw Water Reservoir has a high hazard potential, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The dam structure, primarily composed of earth, stands at a structural height of 18 feet and a length of 2713 feet. With a satisfactory condition assessment as of 2006, the reservoir continues to play a key role in water management and climate resilience efforts in the area.

With its strategic location and key role in water supply management, Point of The Mountain Raw Water Reservoir serves as a vital asset for the community. As climate change continues to impact water resources, this infrastructure stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices and the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued functionality in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
