Stormwater Management Master Plan

Westford has initiated a Stormwater Management Master Plan (SWMMP) that evaluates Westford's current stormwater management practices and identifies future needs for a sustainable stormwater program.  This plan presents a pragmatic, cost-effective approach to addressing drainage infrastructure needs while considering local, state and federal water quality initiatives to protect our valuable water resources now and for future generations. Additional information is included in the following documents:
