Conservation Commission/Inland Wetland Agency

The Watertown Conservation Commission/Inland Wetland Agency (CCIWA) seeks to maintain the integrity of the Town’s watercourses, inland wetlands and aquifers by a process of stringent reviews and permitting.

The CCIWA has 7 regular members and three alternate members.

The Commission receives and acts on applications or proposals to conduct activities in an inland wetland/watercourse or adjacent to an inland/wetland watercourse. Following a thorough evaluation and review, applications are given conditional approvals and denials.

It is important that landowners understand the dynamics of inland wetlands as they are complex and that some cures for localized situations can cause system-wide problems.

The Conservation Commission/Inland Wetland Agency will continue to render its decision on the basis of not prohibiting development but on controlling and regulating development with the least amount of impact on the Town’s inland wetlands and watercourses.

The Conservation Commission/Inland Wetland Agency meets at 7:30 P.M. the second Thursday of each month at the Watertown High School Technology Center, 324 French Street, Watertown, Ct unless otherwise noted.

The Conservation Commision/Inlnade Wetland Agency consists of the following regular members:


Edwin Undercuffler - Chairman

Donato Orsini - Vice Chairman

Thomas Murphy - Secretary

Jim Zawadzki
Joseph Polletta
Glen Duplissie
Tony Dibona

Alternate Members:
