FY18 Budget Proposal Stormwater and Onsite Wastewater Management Funds The budget contains a proposal to establish a Stormwater Fund and an Onsite Wastewater Management to address issues that are negatively impacting the communities watershed and coastal areas: ◦ Issues in the watershed are known and solutions have been identified ◦ Maintenance of the current infrastructure is not resourced at a sustainable level ◦ The current situation will not improve or go away based upon the current level of investment ◦ The Town has regulatory obligations that it must address ◦ Climate change will contribute to the worsening of the Town’s challenges ◦ Formal programming will provide for predicable revenue streams and a managed approach based on planning and measured & deliberate decision making, which ultimately will help lower the cost related to the stormwater program 4/4/17 TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN 20
