4. Storm Water Management

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) requires municipalities that own and operate storm drainage systems in an urbanized area which discharge storm water to develop a Storm water Management Plan to fulfill the requirements of the General Permit for the discharge of storm water from small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4).  The Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) owns and operates the combined storm and sanitary sewers as well as a number of separated storm sewer systems located within Hartford.  Private property owners are responsible for the maintenance of storm drainage systems which serve their properties. The City owns and operates a number of the storm drainage systems which are regulated as part of the MS4 program.
