Stormwater Forum, Wednesday, September 12. September means back to school for kids and back to educational meetings for adults! Start the month off by attending a forum on stormwater on Wednesday, September 12 at 7:30pm. Why stormwater? What is it?Why should you care about stormwater-except when there is so much of it that it floods your basement? Stormwater is the number one source of pollution in the rivers, lakes, ponds, and coastal waters in Massachusetts. Wayland is one of 260 municipalities in the Commonwealth that will have to pay more attention to stormwater because new regulations under the Clean Water Act went into effect July 1.
Meeting requirements will be a challenge and costly. The Board of Selectmen and the League of Women Voters of Wayland, co-sponsors of the forum, urge you to attend the forum, which will be held in the Senior Center at the Town Building on Wednesday, September 12th, at 7:30. Residents, local board members, and developers all have a role in reducing pollutants discharged into local rivers and streams that provide many of us with the water we drink. [For complete announcement with more information on stormwater and on the new regulations, click here.]
