National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Upper Millpond Dam (CT 00390), Indian River Basin, Clinton, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The Upper Millpond Dam is located on the Indian River in Clinton, Connecticut. The dam was constructed in 1813. The overall dam length is 82.5 feet including a stone masonry spillway of 24.5 feet located near the left side. There is a concrete cap, approximate 8 inches high by 1 foot wide which was added to the dam on either side of the spillway in 1975. On the right side of the dam is the remains of an outlet box which is partially collapsed. Also, located beneath the spillway is a plugged 10-inch metal outlet pipe. The maximum height of the dam is 8.2 feet and the average depth immediately behind it is 1 foot. The dam is owned and operated by the Town of Clinton. The dam impounds Upper Millpond which is 16.5 acres in size and which is essentially a widened channel of the Indian River. The dam is in fair condition with some cracking and spalling of the concrete cap, no functioning outlet works, several large overhanging trees just upstream of the dam, measurable seepage a round the left abutment and some misalignment of the stone masonry dam itself.
