Nahant Storm Water Management

Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater program, operators of small municipal storm sewer systems require authorization to discharge stormwater. The Town of Nahant is applying for coverage under NPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges. In order to obtain permit coverage, the Town is required to develop a stormwater management program (SWMP).



The program is designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from Nahant’s storm sewer system to the maximum extent practicable; protect water quality, and satisfy the water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act and Massachusetts Water Quality Standards. As part of the Town’s ongoing public education program, information regarding stormwater issues, announements and water conservation information will be posted on these webpages. Please visit these pages as our Storm Water Management Program is finalized.

	The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) will soon be mailing to every household our annual report on your drinking water quality. Look for the "Tap Into Water" report in the mail during June. The report, required by federal law, provides the results of extensive testing by both MWRA and your local water department of 2002. The news is good - from the Quabbin Reservoir all the way to the tap - test results show excellent drinking water quality. Over the next two years, MWRA will be completing several large new facilities designed to improve the regional water system reliability and security. These include a new ozone treatment plant, the 18-mile MetroWest Tunnel, covered storage tanks, and pipeline improvements. The two-year start-up of these new improvements begins this fall, representing the biggest advances in the regional water supply in many decades.

Water Conservation

Many areas of North America face serious water shortages and even drought each year. As consumers of these resources we can do our part to conserve precious supplies through small, thoughtful changes in our lifestyles and daily activities.
