The Highway Department is responsible for installation and maintenance of the public storm drainage systems. Public storm drainage systems include underground storm-water pipes, catch basins, yard inlets, drainage ditches, and holding ponds. Storm drainage systems are cleared of obstructions on a regular basis with critical areas inspected and cleared before major storms. Drainage easements and rights-of-way are indicated on property surveys. Home owners are urged to check their property surveys before adding fences or plants to insure that the easements and rights-of-way are readily accessible. The Town is not responsible for replacement of buildings or plantings that are hindering the maintenance of a drainage area.
