Major rehabilitation for the Thompson Lake dam in Oxford has been a long time coming. The first piece in a series of repair projects will be completed in about three weeks. Bancroft Contracting of South Paris began work on the dam on Sept. 11, including staging, removing old and compromised stop logs, and repairing the east gate of the dam. Bancroft is also adding 14 inches of concrete reinforcement to the original wall that was built using hand-cut stone masonry.
