Teapot Lake is one of several lakes in the upper Provo River drainage impounded by the Provo Reservoir Company using previously granted water rights in this instance). The dam and secondary dike have the sloped profiles and steel outlet mechanism that characterize them as representative earth-fill water retention structures in the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project.

Historical Information
On September 28, the Provo Reservoir Company submitted an application for special use permit to impound water on Teapot Lake for irrigation storage. The fifth smallest among the fifteen reservoired lakes in the upper Provo River drainage, Teapot was characterized by a gently sloping shoreline with grassy meadows and coniferous forests. The application was approved in by the Forest Service, and that year the irrigation company constructed two dams across the natural outlets on the east edge of the lake. The dams feature typical small-scale construction: compacted earth core with 18" stone riprap facing on the sloped upstream and downstream sides. The northern dam contains the outlet a 12" diameter corrugated steel pipe with a 12" Hardesty No. 100 headgate.
It is proposed that the dam be reconstructed, with a concrete spillway installed to lower the level of the lake.
