Stormwater Information

Reduction of pollutants is a responsibility of the community as a whole.  Pollutants are carried into waterways with precipitation and runoff, known as stormwater.  Residents and businesses can help prevent pollution of stormwater and waterways by reporting issues such as, but not limited to, the following:
  • Erosion and sediment issues related to construction activities
  • Flooding or drainage problems
  • Illegal dumping
  • Improper Waste Handling
  • Unusual discharges or odors from storm drains
 
Call the STORMWATER HOTLINE: (978) 772- 8240
 
These discharges can affect wildlife, water quality, health, and degrade the natural resources in the Town of Ayer and surrounding areas.
