Managed by a public utility, this structure stands at 70 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 66 feet and a structural height of 97 feet. With a storage capacity of 280 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres, Our House serves as a key resource for the region's water needs.

This dam, designed by International Engineering Co., also serves purposes of hydroelectric power generation and recreation. With a spillway width of 230 feet and a maximum discharge rate of 59,400 cubic feet per second, Our House poses a high hazard potential but has a moderate risk assessment rating.
