Rawlins, also known as Sage Creek, is a local government-owned water supply dam located in Carbon County, Wyoming. Completed in 1956, this earth dam stands at a height of 47 feet and has a capacity of 792 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 624 acre-feet. The dam, situated on the Sage Creek river, serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area, with a surface area of 31 acres and a spillway width of 30 feet.
Despite its importance as a water supply structure, Rawlins is currently assessed to be in poor condition, with a low hazard potential. The dam is inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in July 2017. The risk assessment for Rawlins is moderate, indicating a level 3 risk, although specific risk management measures are not detailed in the data. With Liz Cheney (R) representing the Congressional District 00 for Wyoming, Rawlins plays a crucial role in water management and climate resilience efforts in the region, highlighting the intersection of infrastructure, policy, and environmental stewardship.
