Whitmore is a privately owned dam located in Klamath, Oregon, with a primary purpose of water supply. This Earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 500 acre-feet. While it has a low hazard potential, its condition has not been rated, and the last inspection was conducted in August 2016. The dam is regulated by the Oregon Water Resources Department, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.

Situated in a picturesque location in southern Oregon, Whitmore provides vital water resources for the surrounding area. The dam features a slide (sluice gate) as its outlet gate and is not associated with any other structures. While it has not undergone any major modifications in recent years, regular inspections are conducted every six years to assess its condition and ensure its continued safe operation. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are currently not available, indicating areas that may require further attention or development to enhance its overall safety and resilience.

Whitmore's strategic location in the Portland District of Oregon highlights its importance as a key water supply infrastructure in the region. Owned and operated privately, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and providing essential services to the local community. With state regulation and oversight in place, Whitmore serves as a reliable and secure source of water, contributing to the sustainable management of water resources in Klamath County. Further efforts to assess and enhance the dam's safety and emergency preparedness could help ensure its continued effectiveness in meeting the water supply needs of the area.
