Welcome to Our New Site!
We've updated the look of our site, and now we'll be able to keep you updated on a regular basis, so stay tuned. We've posted this year's Cleanup schedule here.
Lowell Canalwaters Cleaners exists to aid in the protection, preservation, and restoration of our regions' natural and historic waterways - especially the Lowell Canals, to expand awareness of environmental issues and civic responsibility encompassing our waterways, and to create a desire and opportunity for citizens to take an active role in helping to make a cleaner environment for us all.
For over 200 years. Lowell’s Canals have had various caretakers: Our Volunteers are the latest.
For over 200 years, Lowell’s Canals have had one owner: The Proprietors of Locks and Canals. At the moment an Italian utility, Enel, is the owner thru their corporate purchase of Boott Power/Proprietors of Locks and Canals.
Look at 200 years of history, and you will find endless changes. But the Power Canals are still churning thru Lowell, still generating power. Think of that: 150 - 200 years old and still doing the same job they were designed to do: Generate power. (Electrical power now, mill power then.) They are a fine testament to the Irish workmen who built them.
