To accomplish this mission the WPCA has set the following Goals & Objectives:
The WPCA Will:
- Continue to monitor and manage on-site sewage disposal systems and the disposition of
septage.
- Develop a program to provide oversight and management of individual Advanced
Treatment Systems (ATS).
- Continue to protect the Town’s interests through the approval of permanent maintenance
agreements associated with individual and community sewage systems.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
