The Washakie Dam has been under intense supervision since it sprung a leak May 6. Officials have been monitoring how well the earthen dam handles spring runoff following a multi-million-dollar rehabilitation project. Gary Collins, a deputy tribal water engineer, said the leak is no cause for alarm at this point because leaks were expected as the dam fills. “We’re making sure they are controlled,” he said. Congress authorized funding to rebuild the 65-year-old dam, five miles west of Fort Washakie, based on safety factors. The dam traps water from the South Fork of the Little Wind River. So far, it is about half full, Collins said.
