Lee Water Reserve Use Shapes Mountain Flood Control
Federal state and local officials debated October Mount Forest flood control plans tying dams to Lee water use. The proposal would impound 300 to 400 surface acres and rely on Washington Mountain Brook, with recreation, flood control and financing to be split among federal and state agencies. Lee officials oppose continued use of the brook and seek alternative sources. Naventi warned the decision rests with the water commissioners, while health department conditions on recreational development complicate the plan. Goose Pond and Commons Brook supplies also factor into current shortages and emergency use.
