Frequently asked questions
The water in the cellar is stained orange. What does that tell us?
That it is mine water, not rain. Anthracite drainage and culm benches keep Honey Pot groundwater high and mineral-stained with no storm involved, so the color identifies the source. Rainwater would arrive clear and then leave.
Stained water in a Hanover Section cellar — river silt or culm?
Culm drainage is iron-stained and can arrive with no storm. River water in June is siltier and arrives with a rise. The color and the calendar together say which supply is open. A dry-week stain in Honey Pot is usually the mines; a June stain on the Hanover terrace is usually the Susquehanna.
The creek is a small mountain run. Why name it in a river town?
Because the mountain side fails from Nanticoke Creek flash, not from the Susquehanna. A lot up the creek can take a June cell the river never saw. The terrace fails from the big river. One town, two channels. A visit that only walks the bank will miss the run.
