Anita is a privately owned earth dam located in Wyoming, specifically in Johnson County on the Canopy Draw river. Completed in 1965, this dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with additional uses including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. The dam stands at a height of 33 feet, with a hydraulic height of 28 feet and a structural height of 38 feet, containing a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Anita has a moderate risk rating due to its age and the lack of recent risk management measures. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 75 feet, and is equipped with a single valve as its outlet gate. Regular inspections occur every 5 years, with the most recent inspection conducted in August 2021. Although the dam meets state permitting and inspection requirements, there is room for improvement in terms of risk assessment and emergency preparedness measures to ensure the safety and longevity of this vital water resource infrastructure.
