Thanks!
In December 2010, a group requested that Niles consider removal of the Pucker Street dam in an upcoming vote. The dam has out-lived its usefulness and is in-operable. However, water quality and the dam's structure continue to degrade. Paid energy consultants report that dam restoration isn't economically feasible. Today, funds for the dam's removal are available. We dedicate this page to those wishing to learn facts and seek your participation in some small way.
