Frequently asked questions
The Housatonic looks small. Why is a mill cellar wet after a June cell?
Because the water left the surface. On this marble a June storm finds a joint and travels through the rock. A mill house cut into that bed is in the path. The stain is underground flow, not a roof leak, and chasing the downspout will not find it.
Onota is a lake. Is that a different job from the mill flats?
Yes. The lake sets a water table; the flats sit on mill fill and the Housatonic. A lakeside basement wets from Onota whether it rained on that block or not. A mill cellar wets from a race or a marble joint. Same June total, two openings.
North Adams is the next Berkshire mill town. Same marble cellar?
North Adams sits on a different Hoosic cut. This valley is Housatonic-plus-marble, with two lakes on the benches. June fails here as a swallowed stream or a held lake, not as a Hoosic gorge. The mountain range is shared; the river is not.
