The Gorham’s Pond tide gates will be opened on two different days this month for flushing and cleaning, unless there’s “extensive rain […] or a series of very high tides,” or bad weather, Darien Public Works Department announced Tuesday.
Unless either of those natural events prevent it, the gates will open on Monday, March 14 and close again on Monday, March 21.
A large amount of rain or very high tides would cause too much water flowing over the dam to open or close the gates, the announcement said.
