Glade is a privately owned earth dam located in Albany County, Wyoming, specifically in the city of Torrington. Completed in 1951, Glade serves primarily for irrigation purposes, providing water for agriculture in the region. The dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 53 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential, Glade is assessed to be in poor condition as of the last inspection in September 2018. The dam has a moderate risk rating, indicating the need for ongoing risk management measures. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 9 feet. With its location on Glade Creek, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management, supporting fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond activities in addition to irrigation. Climate enthusiasts and water resource professionals would find Glade an essential part of Wyoming's water infrastructure network.
