BOARDS ARE IN! GATE CLOSED!

THE BOARDS ARE IN! all seven of them! AND THE GATE IS CLOSED to the one inch required by DEP for downstream aquatic life. The employee for the dam owner remaining at the mill did this work this morning at 10. (I was on the phone with the Sutton Town Administrator’s office at 9:30 and the MPA President right after, so I missed the whole thing! No photos.) He explained the Boards will leak a bit until they swell with water. But we are good for now. Pray for rain and we’ll see how fast this lake can come up.

I’ll report more after my daughter comes for the grandchildren! It is hard to blog with an 11 month old and a 2 1/2 year old.
