  • History of the Bar Harbor Water Company: 1873-2004
    HISTORY OF THE BAR HARBOR WATER COMPANY 1873-2004 By Peter Morrison Crane & Morrison Archaeology, in association with the Abbe Museum Prepared for the National Park Service November, 2005 Frontispiece ABSTRACT In 1997, the Bar Harbor Water Company’s oldest major supply pipe froze and cracked. This pipe, the iron 12" diameter Duck Brook line was originally installed in 1884. Acadia National Park owns the land over which the pipe passes, and the company’s owner, the Town of Bar Harbor, wishes to hand over ownership of this pipe to the Park. Before this could occur, the Maine Department of Environmental Testing performed testing of the soil surrounding the pipe and found elevated lead levels attributable to leaching from the pipe’s lead joints. The Park decided that it would not accept responsibility for the pipe until the lead problem had been corrected. Because the pipe lies on Federally owned land, the Park requested a study to determine if the proposed lead abatement would affect any National Register of Historic Places eligible properties. Specifically, the Park wished to know if the Water System itself could qualify for such a listing. This request was made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The research will also assist the Park in meeting obligations under Section 110 of the same act. Intensive historical research detailed the development of the Bar Harbor Water Company from its inception in the wake of typhoid and scarlatina outbreaks in 1873 to the present. The water system has played a key role in the growth and success of Bar Harbor as a destination for the east coast’s wealthy elite, tourists, and as a center for biological research.

Outlined by three peninsulas supporting ten small towns (Monhegan, St. George, South Thomaston, Thomaston, Warren, Cushing, Friendship, Waldoboro, Bremen, Bristol) straddling Knox and Lincoln counties, the bay has retained much of its traditional maritime culture and heritage.

    \ Stratigraphy and geology of the Bar Harbor Formation, Frenchman Bay, Maine WILLIAM J. METZGER Department of Geology, State University College, Fredonia, New York 14063 ABSTRACT The Bar Harbor Formation consists of more than 2000 feet of typically well-bedded, feldspathic siltstones and sand­ stones displaying well-developed graded bedding. These units were probably deposited by turbidity currents in relatively deep, quiet water. A minimum of 450 feet of boulder-bearing polymictic conglomerate constitutes the base of the section which rests unconformably on a previously undescribed green­ stone. Clasts found in the conglomerate are composed pri­ marily of the underlying greenstone, several types of acidic volcanic rocks, and quartz. 'I'he sequence of rock uni ts ex­ posed in Frenchman Bay is 1. Ellsworth Schist (oldest), 2. greenstone, 3. Bar Harbor Formation (youngest). The Bar Harbor Formation was intruded first by diorite in the form of sills and later by granitic plutons. l',) INTRODUCTION This paper outlines the relationships between the Bar Harbor Formation and adjacent geological units in the area of Frenchman Bay, Maine. The nature of the Bar Harbor sec­ tion, including a thick, basal, polymictic conglomerate, is described. The field evidence used to establish the rela­ tive age relationships among the several geologic units is critically reviewed. Finally, a possible environment of deposition is suggested for the Bar Harbor Formation. The name Bar Harbor Series was applied by Shaler (1889) to the bedded sedimentary sequence which crops out on the northern and northeastern shore of Mount Desert Island. Although Shaler was careful to point out that no evidence for the age of these rocks was known, he indicated that there were similarities between some of the stratified rocks on Mt.
