Stormwater Management Master Plan

The Town of Milton is creating a Stormwater Management Master Plan to develop a strategy to manage stormwater. Stormwater is the rain and melted snow that runs off streets and properties, into creeks and streams, and eventually enters our rivers and Great Lakes.

We manage stormwater with a robust infrastructure system of pipes, facilities, catch basins, storm sewers and stormwater management ponds. This infrastructure helps to improve the runoff water quality and to reduce flooding.

The purpose of the Stormwater Management Master Plan is to:

• Develop a short- and long-range stormwater management strategy for the Town of Milton
• Consider the implications of climate change
• Appropriately manage risks to life, property, and the natural environment
• Recommend updates to stormwater management policy and guidelines
• Identify and rank projects needed to improve stormwater management

When complete, the master plan will act as a decision-making guide for prioritizing projects, budgeting, as well as estimating and addressing future needs of our environment and growing community.
