Are there certain types of properties that are exempt from the storm water fee?

The Board of Selectmen approved a rate structure as recommended by the Water, Sewer, and Storm Water Management Advisory Committee that does not provide any exemptions for municipal properties, schools, or properties owned by religious or registered non-profit organizations.

Undeveloped property (without impervious surfaces) is the only category of property that will not be assessed a storm water fee.
