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. While its condition assessment is not currently available, the dam undergoes regular inspections by both state and federal regulatory agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with enforcement measures.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission oversees the operation and inspection of Our House, ensuring that it meets guidelines for emergency action plans and risk management measures. With its strategic location and vital role in water supply, hydroelectricity, and recreation, Our House stands as a crucial infrastructure for the Nevada and California counties it serves, embodying the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience.
