Residents near Lake Lenape’s dam are being asked to sign up for emergency notifications after consultants surveying the dam found “voids in the earthen berm” between the spillway and the ruins of the nearby former mill building.
“We don’t know if they are large or small yet,” township Administrator Michael Jacobs said of the voids.
Once the crews from the engineering firm URS Corp. found the empty spaces about a month ago, Jacobs said, the firm suggested the township lower the water levels in Lake Lenape before any major storm.
