Stormwater Management Comprehensive Plan

The Town of Newmarket is undertaking an update to its Stormwater Management Comprehensive Plan (SWMCP). The goal of the project is to develop a comprehensive SWMCP that addresses current and future stormwater challenges within Newmarket, aiming to improve water quality, manage stormwater runoff, and mitigate flood risks.

Purpose

The scope of the project includes but is not limited to the following:

• Build and calibrate a Town-wide dual drainage stormwater model.
• Assess current and future system capacity and constraints.
• Identify and prioritize capital projects, retrofits, and operational strategies.
• Conduct climate vulnerability assessments.
• Delineate and classify sewersheds.
• Develop a phased financial forecast and implementation plan.

When complete, the plan will act as a decision-making guide for prioritizing projects, budgeting, and estimating and addressing future needs of our environment and growing community.

We want to hear from you! We will be holding two public open houses during the project so we can get your feedback on the project. To stay up-to-date on this project please check back to this page regularly and sign-up at the bottom of this page to receive email updates.
