DARIEN, Conn. — Darien will open the Gorham's Pond tide gates Thursday for periodic flushing and cleaning of the pond. The gates are scheduled to be closed again Tuesday, Dec. 18.
The opening or closing of the gates may be delayed depending on the weather, according to the town Department of Public Works. It is not possible to open the gates after extensive rainstorms or on very high tides because of the large volume of water flowing over the dam. The Department of Public Works intends to have the gates closed before Christmas.
