Downtown businesses and several roads in the central Maine town of Dexter were closed Wednesday due to flooding from the east branch of the Sebasticook River.
The Waterville Morning Sentinel reported that the Dexter Historical Society Grist Mill Museum, which dates to 1854, teetered over the river where a large section of road was washed out, creating a dropoff of about 15 feet. The National Weather Service estimated Wednesday that the river’s water level was at 10.3 feet, which is above the flood level of 9 feet, the newspaper reported.
Businesses on Main Street in Dexter, as well as the town office, were closed for most of the day as a precaution against flooding.
Elsewhere in Maine, the newspaper reported that both the Carrabassett and Kennebec rivers were near peak flow and rising Wednesday and that there was significant flooding along the Augusta waterfront, as well as in Hallowell and Gardiner.
