Brush Reservoir Dam, also known as Gray's Pond, is a concrete dam located in Stamford, Connecticut.
Completed in 1925, the dam stands at 23 feet tall and spans 243 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres. Its primary purpose is to serve as a water supply source, drawing water from the Gray's Pond Brook.
Managed by a public utility, the dam is regulated by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures in place. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, highlighting the need for maintenance and potential rehabilitation to ensure its long-term stability and reliability. The last inspection in August 2020 indicated the need for improvements, emphasizing the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness measures for this critical infrastructure.
