Frequently asked questions
The hurricane barrier is closed. Why is a mill cellar still wet?
The barrier is a surge gate, not a cellar pump. Closing it keeps Buzzards Bay out of the harbor. It also holds the Acushnet in. March rain that would have gone out the mouth instead loads the combined system and the lowest mill blocks. The gate that saves the waterfront can wet the cellar from the river side.
Lynn is a mill harbor too. What is different about the Acushnet?
Lynn faces Massachusetts Bay without a barrier and peaks in October. New Bedford faces Buzzards Bay, peaks in March, and has a gate that changes the outlet. Triple-deckers are shared. The harbor engineering and the wettest month are not. Do not copy a North Shore October story onto a South Coast March cellar.
Ninety-one percent of the housing predates 1990. What does that mean on a mill block?
It means the block is all original leaders, all party walls, all cellars. A March nor'easter tests the row as one building. Individual ownership does not make individual roofs, and a single clogged conductor is a three-decker job before it is a single-unit job.
