structure

[NW Mailing List]

My first thought was that it is a component of a water treatment facility; perhaps a mixing or settling tank given its low head. If it is, the structure on top could be housing the mechanism for the metering the treatment materials into the raw water.  

However as a counterpoint, I don’t find Caples (or Mohegan) on the 1957 list of locations with water treatment plants (shared on this list a year or two ago) and I also couldn’t find anything to support (or counter) that idea in the archives. There’s not much on Caples.
