The Town of Darien Department of Public Works will open the Gorham’s Pond Tide gates from Monday, March 14, 2016 with scheduled closing on Friday, March 18, 2016 for periodic flushing and cleaning of pond. It is not possible to open the gates after extensive rain storms or a series of very high tides because of the large volume of water flowing over the dam.
