Frequently asked questions
The rain stopped and the cellars stayed full. What is holding it?
The hydro dam pins the pool. With the canal held at level, July rain that reaches Howland Park cellars has no gradient to leave on, so it simply stands. The dam does not have to spill for that to happen.
The cellar takes water on mornings when nothing fell. What is the source?
Buried canal slips. They still carry water under the hydro terrace with no weather involved, so the cellar wets on a schedule of its own. Covering a slip did not take it out of service.
Every roof on this hillside drains onto the property below. Is that the layout?
It is what the slope produced. Lots step down toward the pool, so each roof discharges onto the next one and the lowest takes everything. The drainage follows the hill rather than any plan.
