What are the goals of the Stormwater Management Program?
Township residents and businesses will benefit from the enhanced operation and maintenance of a stormwater infrastructure that controls pollution and reduces flooding. The goals of the new Stormwater Management Program include:
- Compliance with the existing stormwater permit and increased state law requirements for the proper operation of the system.
- Enhance the operation and maintenance of stormwater assets to save money by extending their useful life.
- Assess the condition of the existing infrastructure to make sure it meets current and future needs and strategically implement improvements in the most cost-effective manner.
- Develop a dedicated and reliable funding source outside the common tax base.
- Implement a fair and equitable allocation of costs to property owners in the Township.
- Educate the community on proper stormwater management including techniques and practices and assist property owners with minimizing the quantity of stormwater leaving their property.
