Frequently asked questions
The river is well inside its banks and downtown basements are wet. How?
There is a controlled head above them. The dam at the Square holds a level against downtown whatever the channel looks like, so a wet December reaches cellars with no visible flooding anywhere. Bank height is the wrong thing to watch here.
The lakes look pretty. Why would they wet a cellar at the Square?
Because they are a reservoir. A full lake in December has to spill, and the dam is the gate. Cellars downstream are in that pool. Scenic water is still a water table with a dam on it. Scenic water is still a water table with a dam on it, and cellars downstream are in that pool.
The uphill wall is holding the hill behind it. Does that change what we can do?
It changes the whole approach. A wall retaining saturated reservation ground carries pressure as well as water, so the work is about relieving what is behind it rather than sealing the face. Coating the inside moves nothing.
