DPW Drainage Information:
Drainage Policy
Drainage Standards
These are the Sept 1, 2006 Drainage Design Standards as well as the policy for handling coverage when elements of a lot are to be demolished. The Zoning regulations require that the Engineering Department approve proposed projects prior to issuance of a Zoning Permit, approval of a subdivision, or approval of a Special Permit or Site Plan. This is what DPW uses to do reviews.
