The mill has a 6-meter-deep turbine chamber that is fed through a tunnel, that runs under the road from a 35-acre lake (lake not sold with the mill).
The tunnel is completely submerged at both ends so the water delivery is more than you could ever need and produces so much water that the potential for power is enormous.
The mill and lake owner have joint rights to the water but various permissions will need to be put in place before a hydro-generator could be installed and working to generate your own power.
