MADISON, CT – Madison Town Officials have closed The Surf Club, West Warf and East Warf for swimming until further notice.

Town staff will begin debris removal at town facilities on Friday.

Officials said those residents in beach communities should avoid entering the water at this time and take extra precautions when operating watercraft in the area.
