Heavy Rain Delays The Run

With several inches of rain today, the amount of water going through the ladder at Mill Pond will certainly delay the herring.

The water level in the pond is 2" above normal right now and with an ~5 acre pond that's about 275,000 gallons in just the pond itself that needs to drain, never mind the water constantly flowing in from the river for probably another 24 hours.

Our counters have been on standby since Monday and this will add a few days for sure to the wait.

The two videos below taken at 5:15pm today show the herring ladder area and specifically the conduit going under Route 28. There's no way the herring could swim 180+ feet though that...








The hay bales placed along the road for the Route 149 & 28 construction failed to contain the washout today, which completely covered the area cleaned just last Saturday with mud.
