Jiggs Dam, located in Campbell, Wyoming, on Jiggs Draw, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet with a hydraulic height of 19 feet and a structural height of 25 feet. Completed in 1957, the dam has a storage capacity of 134 acre-feet and a normal storage of 68 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the local area.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor as of the last inspection in July 2019, indicating a need for maintenance and potential upgrades. The spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 550 feet, and the outlet gates consist of a single valve. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, there is a call for increased risk management measures to ensure the safety and longevity of Jiggs Dam for the surrounding community and the ecosystem it supports. Climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates may find interest in monitoring the developments and improvements of this vital infrastructure.
