Broken beaver dam may have caused West Warren flooding

WARREN, Mass. (WWLP) – Mass DOT is repairing Route 67, Main Street, in West Warren after flood waters damaged part of the road Friday morning. Warren Police Sgt. Joe Laflower says he thinks a nearby beaver dam may have broken due to all the rain we’ve had lately. He says its expensive to continue repairing the road, and they hope the state can come up with a more permanent fix.

Quaboag is the name of the river that flows through town, and the historic plantation for which it was founded. In the 19th century it was a hard-working river with multiple dams to support industry along it. The decayed dams are still visible along its path, but it’s a beaver dam we’re interested in today. 40 miles away from Mike Callahan of Beaver Solutions a beaver dam MAY have caused flooding twice this year and once in 2005 and they aren’t sure what to do to solve the problem? Really?

Obviously the answer is more concrete. And trapping. Don’t forget the trapping.
