The month-long work on the causeway culvert on Mill Street had Conway Lake drained three feet lower than normal.
I called the guy in charge of the dam.
"The paper already covered this," he said.
"What's the history of the dam?" I asked.
"Ask the town."
"But what exactly do you do, when you drain the lake?"
"What? You just open the dam."
I didn't get around to calling the town. Just took photos and saw a lot of oil slick, presumably from years of motor boats, on the sand.
So I don't know anything more about the lake being three feet lower. Environmental problems? Fish dying? Sailboats stranded? Anyone?
