Frequently asked questions
Torrington is on the Naugatuck too. Is this the same hillside problem?
Opposite end of the river. Torrington is headwaters and cuts. Derby is the mouth: two rivers, a dam, and mill brick on a triangle of fill. October rain here is a pool problem, not a hillside-till problem. October rain here is a pool problem at the mouth, not a hillside-till problem at the headwaters.
Do both rivers have to rise before the lowest floors take water?
Usually yes. The Housatonic can still leave if the Naugatuck is quiet. When both peak against Derby Dam the junction has no unused capacity, and the mill floors then see the pool rather than a single bank. When both peak against Derby Dam the mill floors then see the pool rather than a single bank.
The dam is a landmark. Why would it wet a house?
Because it sets the pool elevation. A dam is a water table with a name. Mill basements on that pool were poured to the water that powered them; the dam just keeps the supply from dropping in October.
