Well, from the looks of things, it seems the spillway valves have been opened to kick off the pond draining/dredging project. Walked by the pond today, and it was noticably lower. With temps heading toward the single numbers over the next few nights, it would make sense, since I would imagine water drains easier than solid ice.
Here's the spillway going under 1 Cottage Street. One would expect Lower Mill Pond will be rising soon... Didn't see any trout making the dash for fuller ponds, but hopefully as the water gets lower in the Nashwannuck, they'll take the hint to get out of dodge.
The drop isn't that noticable here, but I think tomorrow may be a different story...
