TENNY & CO., this dam serves the primary purpose of hydroelectric power generation, with additional benefits for recreation. Standing at a height of 48 feet and spanning a length of 1100 feet, it impounds Mollys Brook and has a storage capacity of 13,526 acre-feet.
Despite its age, Marshfield No. 6 has not been subject to recent state inspections or assessments, with its condition currently listed as "Not Rated". With a high hazard potential, it is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and advocate for the maintenance and safety of this critical infrastructure. As a key player in the New England District, this dam plays a significant role in the local community's water management and energy production efforts.
