The Town Council voted 7-0 Tuesday to approve an agreement to remove the remnants of the dam just upstream of Webster Road on the Sabattus River. The Department of Marine Resources is aiming to remove all man-made materials and restore the stream to its natural state. The water level on the river dropped roughly 3 feet after the dam was breached in 2012, he said. Removing the remnants could lower the water level up to an additional 6 inches.
