Redridge Dam

Industries, Engineering, Charles Karhkainen on rope block and Reino Alanen in hole, try to open old valves at the pipes underneath the steel dam at Redridge. After several days of hard and hagardous work, the men and the company gave up. It was impossible to break open the huge rusted valves that had been in stalled in 1901-1902 when the dam was built. The dam (steel) was built by the Wisconsin Iron and Foundry Works of Milwaukee.

Redridge Dam

Industries, Engineering, Grates over the valves in the steel dam at Redridge gave some protection from floating debris from blocking the pipes, but eventually the valves resuted and broke and debris did get through and create problems. Notice one valve rod broken. The steel dam was finally lowered to a point where the exit was equal to the river's run off. The water level was dropped in the summer of 1955. The log dam still impounds river water.
