Notes
  • Significance: Weir, Fire and Pot lakes, all built in 1934 by the Provo Reservoir Company, are indicative of the renewed local interest in reservoir-building sparked by the drought of 1931. They are historically significant as among the last examples of private reservoir construction in the Provo River drainage. The Weir Lake Dam is the longest of two masonry retention structures in the Bonneville Unit. Essentially unaltered and well preserved, it is one of the most technically significant dams in the unit.
