                            WPCA Mission Statement
The mission of the WPCA is to find solutions to the identified impacts on the waters of the
State through an aggressive, scientifically-based sewer avoidance program; by protecting
ground water quality through an on-site wastewater treatment upgrade, maintenance, and
monitoring program.

   
The WPCA set Goals and Objectives to Accomplish this Mission.

•        The WPCA will continue to monitor and manage on-site sewage disposal systems and
the disposition of septage.
•        The WPCA will develop a program to provide oversight and management of
individual Advanced Treatment Systems (ATS).  
•        The WPCA will continue to protect the Town’s interests through the approval of
permanent maintenance agreements associated with individual and community sewage
systems.
•        The WPCA will establish and administer a Wastewater Management District (WWMD)
that maintains an ATS database; provides for the operations and management (O&M) of
ATS and continued recording of data resulting from the Pump-out and Inspection
program.  It also will continue monitoring repairs, upgrades and replacements of existing
systems.  
•        The WPCA will develop a public education program with an emphasis on water
conservation, reduced use of fertilizers and pesticides, and approaches to controlling
surface water runoff.  This informational program will also include a continuing
educational component to teach the theory of operation and maintenance requirements
for both conventional on-site and advanced individual sewage treatment systems.  
•        The WPCA will continue working with the Land Use, Building and other Town of Old
Saybrook departments and commissions to create integrated approaches to sub-surface
sewage disposal and as needed, ground water run-off, that conform to the Town’s Plan of
Conservation and Development.
