The dam behind Weber Reservoir
Weber Reservoir is held back by Weber (also recorded as Weber Reservoir) , an earthfill embankment, holding the pool back by sheer mass and an impervious core rather than by the strength of concrete , standing 57 ft high and running 1,350 ft along its crest , built across Walker River in Mineral County , near Schurz . It was completed in 1934 and modified in 2007;2009 , and is owned by BIA (a federal owner) , to a design credited to BOR.
Its recorded primary purpose is irrigation — the pool is drawn down across the growing season to serve water rights downstream, then refilled over winter . It also serves irrigation;recreation.
It is founded on rock;soil, with a earth core. Its spillway is gated, so the operator can hold the pool above the spillway crest and meter what leaves. The spillway opening is 43 ft wide. Its outlet works use slide (sluice gate)2;tainter (radial)2.
NID classes it high hazard potential. That describes what a failure would cost downstream — loss of life would be expected — and says nothing about how likely a failure is, or what condition the dam is in. Its most recent condition assessment was fair: sound under normal loading, though a rare or extreme event could expose a deficiency. That assessment is dated 10/24/2022.
At its normal pool the reservoir covers about 413 acres. NID records a maximum storage of 20,950 acre-ft against a normal storage of 10,242 acre-ft. Its maximum discharge capacity is 10,900 cubic feet per second.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the current water level of Weber Reservoir?
- This lake reports storage (5,141 acre-ft as of Aug 31, 2026, 1:00 AM (UTC-07:00)) but no elevation gauge — its managing agency does not publish a pool-elevation reading here.
- Is Weber Reservoir full right now?
- Its managing agency does not publish a %-of-conservation-pool-full figure for this lake, so we show the bare level rather than estimate one.
- Where does this data come from?
- From USGS site 10301700, retrieved Aug 31, 2026, 8:24 AM (UTC+00:00).
