About White Lake Dam
The primary purpose of White Lake Dam is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by John White (private). It impounds the Tr-south Grand River near Deepwater.
The dam stands 25 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 10 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 134 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 160 square miles. Completed in 1964, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
