I usually save good police log entries for the Hall of Fame found on the right side column of this site, but this one was deserved its own post.From Thursday’s Morning Sentinel Police Log:
IN WINSLOW, Wednesday at 9:40 a.m., a caller from Dallaire Street called the police inquiring about the safety of their home when the dam is breached.
For those of you not from the area, the Fort Halifax Dam in Winslow is a 100-year-old hydroelectric facility on the Sebasticook River. This summer they will be removing a piece of the dam.
I can see a neighbors concern, but honestly, don’t you think someone would contact you if your house would be in jeopardy? An earlier Morning Sentinel story highlights the process and what people can expect… “FPL Energy made the change, Wiley said, to slow the removal process, so that the lake would drain more slowly, thus making any significant erosion or slumping of river banks far less likely.”
I worry about people sometimes... especially when they ask questions like this. Just check out the map, they are over 200 feet away from the water!
