Frequently asked questions
The two rivers share a name with the city. When does the mill floor actually take water?
When the Kalamazoo and Battle Creek peak together in May. One fork in flood can still leave. Together they fill the junction, and the cereal-mill streets have no unused room. The lowest blocks then see channel water rather than just perched till on the benches.
The confluence dropped. Why would a house up on the till bench still seep?
That wall is holding till, not the junction. May rain entered the bench above the house and is still moving downslope. The mill-floor flood question and the bench seepage question are two jobs from one month. A falling gauge does not dry the cut.
A 1956 cellar on the cereal-mill floor — what was it built to do with water?
Send it to a floor drain. When May rain surcharges that system at the confluence, the drain reverses. Exterior tile was not routine. A check valve and a path away from the junction beat a coating on the inside of a wall that sits below the mill streets.
