Enl. Spring is a private water resource nestled in the picturesque landscape of Sheridan, Wyoming. This irrigation dam, completed in 2005 by designer Hugh Lowham, stands as a vital structure along the Aragonite Draw river, serving multiple purposes such as fire protection, stock watering, and maintaining small fish ponds. With a dam height of 30 feet and a hydraulic height of 32 feet, Enl. Spring offers a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet, supporting a normal storage level of 30 acre-feet.

Despite its importance, Enl. Spring's condition assessment indicates poor maintenance, with a hazard potential rated as low. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway width of 100 feet and an outlet gate for controlled water release. With a drainage area of 0.4 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 1455 cubic feet per second, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. The site, located in an unnamed ranch area, is subject to state regulation and inspection, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Enl. Spring's risk assessment suggests a moderate level of risk, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures. With Liz Cheney (R) representing the Congressional District of Wyoming where the dam is situated, stakeholders and water resource enthusiasts are encouraged to stay updated on the structure's maintenance and regulatory status to ensure the preservation of this essential water management infrastructure.
