Equipment arrived today to the Cordry Spillway area. Some area on the backside was cleared for "work room" on the backside of the spillway. The actual project is to replace the metal spillway tube that was installed back in the 1960's. It has rusted through allowing water run-off to undermine the area underneath the tube and cement on the spillway.
The annual Cordry Sweetwater Haunted Trail and Hay Ride enjoyed excellent weather both on Friday and Saturday night. There were over 500 Tickets sold on Saturday night alone!
If you trave the State Road 252 through Edinburgh, you've probably seen the dam on Blue River. The Thompson Mill Dam faild in 2023. Demolition has begun this past week. The dam was built to furnish water for the Thompson Mill water wheel. The dam was later given to the town of Edinburgh and it supplied some electricity to the town. "Low Head" dams around the state and country are being removed due to safety issues.
