Pictured is the dismantling of the Morton Dam strainer facility during the 1990s. Morton Dam was decommissioned earlier in 1988. Parts of the building were salvaged for scrap with the rest being buried by two of Pollard’s bulldozers. Some trenching for a scour valve along the face of Morton Dam was also done around the same time.
