Home, also known as Enl of 1572r, is a private-owned irrigation structure located in Albany, Wyoming. Built in 1941 by designer A. McGaw, this earth dam on Boswell Spring Creek serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock water, and irrigation. With a dam height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 151 acre-feet, Home plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
Despite its age, Home is in fair condition with a low hazard potential according to the latest inspection in May 2020. The dam features a single valve outlet gate and an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 3 feet. Although the risk assessment is moderate, the structure has no emergency action plan in place, highlighting the need for proactive risk management measures to ensure the safety of downstream communities and the environment.
As a key component of the water infrastructure in Wyoming, Home provides essential water resources for agricultural and domestic use. With proper maintenance and risk mitigation strategies, this irrigation dam will continue to support the local community and contribute to sustainable water management practices in the area.
