Stormwater runoff from surfaces that can’t absorb water, carries pollutants such as vehicle fluids, chemicals, and pet waste into local waterways, which contaminates and harms our environment and human life. This issue is worsened by aging stormwater drainage systems that cannot handle the increased frequency and intensity of recent storms, which causes widespread flooding, infrastructure damage, and threats to public health.
Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG) promotes sustainable solutions to improve water quality and build flood resilience.
