Inside Pawtucket Gatehouse

Inside Pawtucket Gatehouse are ten sluice gates to control water flow. The six-ton gates were operated by a hydraulic system powered by a James B. Francis turbine. The gates are still active, although computer controlled, and regulate water flow to the hydroelectric plant located on the Northern Canal.
