Dam Completed At Lake Nequasset Increases Bath Water Supply
The Bath Water District completed a new reinforced concrete dam at Nequasset to replace the old stone structure. The $5,000 project includes a fishway and log sluice, a 24 inch gate, and a waterway for the old Woolwich saw mill. It preserves alewife runs, stabilizes lake levels, and aims to prevent algae-related taste. The town of Woolwich formed a committee to negotiate with the district, with no quick settlement expected.
