A patch job on the Winchester Dam is underway in August. With no access to the fish ladder, the dam represents a barrier to fish passage for several weeks while the work is underway. This 130 year old dead beat dam is a high hazard struture that at one time produced power but no longer does. It is a candidate for removal.
