Storm Water Management Plan

What is Stormwater? 
Stormwater is water resulting from rain or snowmelt that runs off surfaces such as rooftops, paved streets, highways and parking lots. Along the way, the water may pick up and transport contaminants including motor oils, gasoline, antifreeze, and brake dust (commonly found on pavements), fertilizers and pesticides (found on landscaped areas), and soil sediments (from farms and construction sites). The water eventually flows into a local stream, river or lake, or into a storm drain and continues through storm pipes until it is released untreated into a local waterbody. 

Stormwater results in significant pollution to surface water affecting primary contact recreation such as swimming and aquatic life use support.

To report a suspected illicit discharge you can come to the Public Works office at Town Hall between the hours of 8:30 and 4:30, email or call the Public Works office 203-891-4712
