Stormwater panel seeks to fill vacant seats

Stormwater Advisory Committee · Meeting of May 28, 2026

WATERTOWN — The Watertown Stormwater Committee discussed how to refill vacant seats and revive outreach after years of reduced activity. Three resident seats sit vacant out of five, and the committee's webpage understates the vacancies, members said at the May 28 meeting. A prospective member, Chris Connor, awaits City Council approval through the Department of Public Works committee, with automatic approval possible if that panel does not meet within 30 days.

Members discussed a seventh-grade "stormwater walk" planned for June 10, updating the committee's website, and asking contractor Weston Sampson to present monitoring data on stormwater discharge quality. One member said, "it seems like it was very active at one point" but "hasn't been active for a while." No votes were taken.
