Pothole Coulee Dam Site Progress at Magrath Area
The East Pothole Coulee site hosts an ambitious dam project to create a 15 200 acre foot reservoir for irrigation districts south and east of Lethbridge.

The dam will be 800 feet long and 25 feet wide at the top with a 730 foot base, and the bed of the creek will hold a 100 foot section. Construction requires 350 000 cubic yards of dirt and 150 000 cubic yards of gravel and rock. Heavy machinery is at work building access roads and excavating the foundation with completion hoped for next fall.
