Dam Registration and Dam Recordation
Dam Registration
All dams in the State of Connecticut must be registered. Please review the Dam Registration Fact Sheet.
Before filling out a dam registration form, you should verify that you or a former owner did not already register the dam: Dam Safety Inventory of Dams in CT with Owner Type, March 2025
To assist in the completion of a dam registration form, a diagram of a typical dam is available.
