The song is not about a hydro-electric dam... that's a misunderstanding of a Canadian term. In Canadian English, "hydro" can refer to any type of electricity (probably because that's the main power source I guess). A "hydrofield" is just what Americans would call power lines, the big kind that you see cutting straight through a forest where the trees are cleared around them. So he's saying his neighborhood is divided by this type of power line and he can feel the electricity flowing through him from the lines.

I always picture the towns surrounding Niagara Falls when i hear this song. I always assumed the falls played a part in its creation.
