Constructed in 1961, this earth dam reservoir has a height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 106 acre-feet. The reservoir covers a surface area of 13.8 acres and is fed by Antelope Creek, a tributary to the Sacramento River.
Managed by the Oregon Water Resources Department, Andy Hill Reservoir has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The reservoir is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with applicable standards. While the dam does not have a spillway, it can discharge a maximum of 45 cubic feet per second in case of overflow.
Despite being a smaller reservoir, Andy Hill plays a crucial role in supporting local agriculture through irrigation. Its location in a remote area with no downstream settlement emphasizes its importance in providing water for agricultural purposes. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find this reservoir an intriguing example of sustainable water management in a semi-arid region like Oregon.
