Frequently asked questions
The Great Stone Dam and filled raceways — why do those wet a cellar when Kansas is not in the picture?
That one sits on the Kansas River in the Flint Hills' western edge. This one sits on the Merrimack below a mill dam, in triple-deckers on filled canals. December rain here is industrial hydrology, not prairie chert. The name is the only overlap. Jackson Terrace and the mill housing district sit on Merrimack raceways, not on a Kansas River flint bench.
The canals were filled in decades ago. Why would that still matter?
Because filling a raceway does not stop it carrying water. The channels under these triple-deckers still move water down from the Great Stone Dam, and the fill is the path it takes. What was closed at the surface is intact underneath.
The dam is historic. Why would it still wet a cellar?
Because the canals it fed were filled, not removed. Voids and the water they carried remain under the blocks. A cellar on that terrace can take moisture from below with no storm and no plumbing failure, because the path is the mill hydrology the city was built on. Downtown Lawrence cellars take that mill water on a fair week; the dam still holds the hydrology even as a monument.
