The north-wing wall is finished, covered in white plastic in the background, and is made of compacted clay and earth. The huge wrap of white plastic protects it from erosion. It will be landscaped with native plants in the spring.

As wet fall weather fills the lake, dewatering equipment pumps water out of the lake to lower the level to protect the coffer dam.

An email update by Brendan Maguire for Halifax Atlantic:

Construction continues at Williams Lake Dam
Concrete has been added where the bedrock was lower than expected, creating a strong base for the new dam. Crews are now sealing cracks in the bedrock to help prevent water from flowing underneath.

The new dam will follow the footprint of the original dam, which dates to the 1700s. The new dam will meet or exceed Canadian Dam Association standards. Construction of the dam structure will begin in the coming weeks.

The original dam was in poor condition, which is why the Province of Nova Scotia, through Build Nova Scotia, is investing $4.965 million to replace it. The new dam will help protect nearby residents, properties and the lake’s ecosystem.

Good news on Williams Lake water quality!

We are happy to report that E.coli levels returned to non-detectable in water sampled by WLCC volunteers in late August from the eastern end of Williams Lake (less than 2.0 Colony-forming units (CFU)/ 100 ml of water). The Health Canada guideline for recreation is set at 235 CFU/100 ml.
