    Storm Drainage Repairs Scheduled at Crestbrook Park Golf Course
     
    Improvements Following 18 August 2024 Storm Damage
     
    Watertown, CT — The Town of Watertown is announcing a forthcoming storm drainage improvement project at Crestbrook Park Golf Course, aimed at repairing significant storm-related damage sustained during the August 18, 2024, storm event.
     
    The work will focus on repairing and upgrading the stormwater drainage infrastructure to prevent future flooding, improve resilience, and restore affected areas of the golf course to full functionality. Construction is scheduled to begin on June 30, 2025, with efforts carefully coordinated to minimize impact on golf course operations and public access.
     
    Temporary detours, course modifications, or access limitations may be necessary during the construction. Updates will be posted on the Watertown Parks & Recreation Department website [www.watertownctrec.com] and the Crestbrook Park Golf Course as the project progresses.
     
    The impacted area will be primarily limited to: across Bennett Road, just before the splits to the Sunset Grille, the upper and lower parking lots, the maintenance garage, and the proshop, and from the western side of Bennett Road to Merriman Pond.
