Built in 1916 on Soldier Creek, this reservoir serves primarily for irrigation purposes. With a dam height of 18 feet and a storage capacity of 2000 acre-feet, it covers a surface area of 139.2 acres and has a drainage area of 1.41 square miles.
Managed by the Oregon Water Resources Department, Arritola Reservoir has a low hazard potential and is not currently rated for its condition. The reservoir features a needle outlet gate and has a maximum discharge capacity of 15 cubic feet per second. Despite its age, the last inspection of the reservoir was conducted in 2012, with a mandated inspection frequency of every 6 years.
While the reservoir has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan, it remains a vital resource for irrigation in the region. Supported by the local community and regulated by the state, Arritola Reservoir continues to play a crucial role in water management and agricultural activities in Malheur County, Oregon.
