With a storage capacity of 107 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 10 acres and has a drainage area of 2.3 square miles.
Despite its age, Tisdale No. 3 remains in fair condition, as last assessed in September 2021. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. It is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway that is 75 feet wide and has a maximum discharge capacity of 970 cubic feet per second. Regular inspections are conducted, with the next one scheduled for 2026, to ensure the dam's structural integrity and safety measures are up to standard.
Located in Congressional District 00, Wyoming, Tisdale No. 3 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area and protecting downstream communities. With its strategic design and operational capabilities, this dam serves as a key infrastructure asset for water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Campbell County.
