Hamilton Reservoir is located in the Town of Holland, Massachusetts .  Holland is located in south, central Massachusetts bordering Union, Connecticut.  In the 1860's the Hamilton Woolen Company dammed the Quinnebaug River and formed the Hamilton Reservoir.  The Reservoir is located in the headwater region of the Quinebaug River watershed which flows north through the town and combines with the French and Middle Rivers to form the Thames River.  The Thames flows southward through Connecticut into Long Island Sound.

Next Meetings –> May 19, 2012 and Aug. 25, 2012 at Senior Center, Holland Ma. – 8:30 refreshments, 9 am business meeting.

Why do you need to put your street address on your DOCKS ?

  1. Safety - to ID the lake front location in case of accident, injury  or emergency on the lake
  2. For dock identification -in the event  we have another flood like we did in October 2005 and docks float away.
  3. To help locate weed treatment areas
  4. It’s the law.
