At the south end of Wilton, practically on the Norwalk line, Kent Road heads west from Route 7 and immediately crosses the Norwalk River. Beside the Kent Road bridge is a green silo-like structure that houses a water-level recorder. It was built by the United States Geological Survey and, since 1962, it has provided daily measurements of the river's water flow. All of its measurements from past years are now on the Web at this site.

Just south of Kent Road, Copts Brook joins the Norwalk River from the east.



USGS Gaging station at Kent Road. Instruments
in the green "silo" measure the water's height.
