Frequently asked questions
October wet the wall and the freeze made it worse. Why does winter add to it?
The races keep feeding it. Live canals hold October water against The Flats right up to the freeze, and it is then locked into the wall for the winter instead of drying. The cold does not stop the supply; it traps what already arrived.
The canals still look like water. What does a live race do to a 1950 cellar?
It sets the table. A live race is not a memory; it is a water surface against the terrace. October's 4.72 inches then adds to a path that already runs. A cellar on that terrace can wet from the side with the river in bank, because the dam put the river in the neighborhood on purpose.
Oakdale sits above The Flats. Why would a dam race still matter on the hill?
It may not. The hill fails from roofs, ledge, and frost in a 1950 wall. The Flats fail from the canals. One October cell, two elevations. Opening a Highlands house as a race job will waste the visit; ignoring the race on The Flats will miss the wet that never needed a cloud.
