Pond Lily Dam Removal on the West River

The Pond Lily Dam was built on the West River to serve a 1700’s-era mill at the site.  The West River Restoration Project, administered by Connecticut Fund for the Environment, was intended to re-open channels for migratory fish by removing the dam which is no longer serving a purpose.  Please see the before and after pictures as the project moved forward.  Note the modern-era fish ladder in the foreground of the dam.
