Frequently asked questions
The brook was culverted generations ago. Why does it still matter?
Because it still carries the Fells. Reservation runoff enters a boxed channel with no floodplain to spread into, so a December cell arrives at capacity and backs into whatever sits lowest. Burying a brook does not reduce what it collects.
The Fells is a park. Why would it wet a cellar on the river?
Because it is also a catchment. December rain on already-wet woods has to leave somewhere, and Spot Pond Brook is the outlet. Boxing that brook into a river removed the marsh that used to store the extra, so the extra is now a basement.
A top-floor bathroom on a triple-decker — whose problem is the stain below?
Everyone stacked under it. The framing is continuous. Water from one bath reaches two other households before anyone sees a ceiling stain. Ownership lines do not stop a joist. Ownership lines do not stop a joist, and drying only the unit with the stain leaves the wet framing in place.
