Stormwater Master Plan Survey

The Town of Milton is developing a Stormwater Master Plan to establish a comprehensive strategy to manage stormwater.

Stormwater is the rain and melted snow that runs off streets and properties, into creeks and streams, and eventually into rivers and the Great Lakes.

The Town manages stormwater with a robust system of pipes, Low Impact Development, Oil and Grit Separators, Jellyfish Filtration Units, catch basins, storm sewers, and stormwater management ponds. This infrastructure helps to improve the water quality of runoff and to reduce flooding.

When complete, the master plan will act as a decision-making guide for prioritizing projects, budgeting, as well as estimating and addressing future needs of our environment and growing community.

The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. For more context, you can review the information boards from the Public Information Centre (PIC) held April 29, 2026 .

Thank you.

What stormwater measures are being considered?

What types of stormwater measures would you like to see used in your community? Check all that apply.

* required

End-of-Pipe Measures -- That discharge treated water to receiving water courses (i.e., wet pond, dry stormwater pond, constructed wetlands, etc.)

Stream Restoration Measures -- That improve the health of a stream and reduce erosion risk (i.e., natural channel design, bank stabilization, etc.)

Conveyance Infrastructure and Control Measures -- That transport runoff, and may also provide treatment (i.e., bioswale, drainage ditch, pipe, etc.)

Source Control Measures -- That capture runoff at the source (i.e., permeable pavements, green roofs, rainwater harvesting, etc.)

Pollution Prevention Measures -- That reduce pollution of runoff (i.e., road salt management, well protection, etc.)

Operations and Maintenance Measures -- That improve stormwater management (i.e., street sweeping, leaf pick-up removal, and sediment removal, etc.)

All of the above

None of the above

What is considered when finding solutions?

When evaluating stormwater management solutions, what factors are most important to you? Please rank the following factors from most to least important, with 1 being most important and 5 being least important.

* required

Physical and natural environment (protecting creeks, wetlands and wildlife)

Select

Social and cultural ( how stormwater solutions look and feel in the neighbourhood, impacts to parks and recreation spaces, community well-being)

Select

Economics (how much projects cost to build and maintain, and providing long-term value for taxpayers)

Select

Technical and engineering (how solutions work, such as reducing flooding, solving drainage problems, ease of building and operating stormwater infrastructure)

Select

Other - explain below
