Summary
The dam, situated along the Anaheim Draw river or stream, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock maintenance, and irrigation. With a dam height of 32 feet and a hydraulic height of 26 feet, Anaheim has a low hazard potential and is in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in April 2020.
The reservoir created by the Anaheim dam has a storage capacity of 117 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 64 acre-feet. The dam's spillway, with a width of 55 feet, is uncontrolled, allowing for a maximum discharge of 1202 cubic feet per second. Despite its modest size, Anaheim plays a crucial role in water resource management for the surrounding area, supporting agricultural activities and providing water for livestock.
Located in a picturesque setting, Anaheim is not only a vital water resource infrastructure but also a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing and managing water for various needs. As water resource enthusiasts, the Anaheim dam serves as a reminder of the intricate relationship between water, climate, and human civilization, highlighting the importance of sustainable water management practices for future generations.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
