The dam in the Kaysville Irrigation Company Reservoir, located east of Fairfield Road between Boynton Road and 700 North, is being repaired. This earthen dam was constructed in 1914 and had developed a leak. The reservoir was drained and design and reconstruction of the dam began this year and will cost approximately $1 million dollars. The work on the reservoir will continue into next summer with reconstruction hopefully being completed about one year from now. Next summer crews may dredge the bottom of the reservoir and remove about 14' of silt. Kaysville Irrigation is getting water to all users, however, there may be some limits on operation of ditches. Occasionally, the channel above the reservoir may be dry. When there is water in this reservoir, hundreds of geese fly through this area and sit on the water. That's an absolutely beautiful site and we hope the geese will return when this project is completed.
