Protecting water quality is critically important for protecting <st1:place
w:st="on">Cape Cod</st1:place>’s public water supplies, swimming beaches,
shellfish, aquaculture, and recreational opportunities. Stormwater runoff can be
a major contributor to pollution of water bodies. Federal and state water
quality standards require communities to treat and manage stormwater, however
municipal stormwater management requires investment in trained staff,
infrastructure improvements, maintenance, and management systems. Finding
the funding to manage stormwater runoff to meet water quality standards is a
challenge. Traditional sources of funding (state and federal grants) are
typically not enough to address all of a community’s stormwater management
needs. </P>

<P class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none">This
free workshop will provide an overview of a different approach to stormwater
financing -- stormwater utilities and fee-based systems. The workshop will
cover the basics of stormwater utilities: the definition and purpose of a
stormwater utility, how it works, how stormwater financing can help a
municipality to meet stormwater regulations, national examples, types of
communities that use this approach, how to determine whether a stormwater
utility makes sense for your community, integrated water resource utilities, the
Massachusetts experience with stormwater utilities, typical municipal stormwater
management costs, and how to set up and implement a stormwater utility
bylaw. The workshop will end with a summary of the results of a Cape-wide
survey of public works departments to determine their stormwater management
needs and a discussion to determine if there is interest in a multi-community
approach to stormwater financing or stormwater management. </P>
