Summary
This privately owned spring serves primarily for recreational purposes and features an earth dam with a height of 30 feet and a hydraulic height of 20 feet. Completed in 1970, the spring offers a storage capacity of 225 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3 acres.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Wim-Wigor-Spring has a controlled spillway and one outlet gate for water flow regulation. Despite its low hazard potential, the spring is considered to have a very high risk due to its location and associated risks. The last inspection in August 2006 reported that the condition of the spring was not rated, indicating a need for further assessment and potential risk management measures to ensure its long-term sustainability.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Wim-Wigor-Spring presents an intriguing opportunity to explore the intersection of recreational usage, ecological conservation, and risk management in a unique natural setting. As the spring continues to be monitored and regulated by state agencies like OWRB, there is a growing need for sustainable practices and proactive measures to safeguard this valuable water resource for future generations.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
