Impervious surface on your parcel places a certain demand on the stormwater system. Stormwater runoff generated by your property must be controlled and conveyed once it leaves your property so that it does not create problems for others. While certain projects funded by the program would address drainage problems on private properties, all property owners would receive indirect benefits from a properly maintained and operated stormwater management system for the entire Town which is on public property. Stormwater management activities with broad benefits include keeping the public streets drained and cleared, making necessary stormwater infrastructure upgrades, reducing erosion and other pollutants that enter streams and lakes, protecting and restoring streams and other aquatic habitat areas and collecting and conveying stormwater safely through all parts of the Town. A portion of the fees would also provide for compliance with federal, state, and local regulations for water quality im
