IROQUOIS – Ontario Power Generation is doing some renovation work to the Iroquois Control Dam over the next month.
OPG says the work will have “no significant” effect on water flows or the gates used by recreational boaters at the dam.
The work between gates 15 and 20 started last Friday (Sept. 22) and will continue until Oct. 30.
“OPG is replacing sectional service gates. These sectional service gates are used to isolate the large control gates for maintenance. The operation of the control gates over the next month is to facilitate the removal, installation and commissioning of the new gates,” OPG spokesman Matt Mulvihill told Cornwall Newswatch.
He added it’s the first step of a multi-year investment to refurbish the dam.
