Frequently asked questions
Most of Michigan peaks in May. Why does this river peak in October?
Lake effect delays the season. Water still warm off the big lake feeds October rain here, and the mill flats have been wet since spring, so that late pulse has no storage left. A May diagnosis copied from Detroit will miss the month that actually fills these cellars.
The paper mill is closed. Why is the fill still seeping?
Cinders and race-fill do not clock out. They hold October rain and keep a connection to Portage Creek, and a 1959 basement is a hole in that spoil. The machines left; the grade did not, and a dry roof on a mill-village street will not change that.
A hill house with leaf-clogged tile. Is that a mill problem?
It is an October problem of a different kind. Till perches rain and sends it into tile the leaves have blocked. The mill is the flats. Opening a hill cellar and looking for a race will miss a downspout and a grate.
