WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN
BERLIN, VERMONT

The Town of Berlin maintains a wastewater collection system and numerous pump stations that convey wastewater to Montpelier for treatment. Water supply needs are met by individually owned wells and several small public water systems.

The Master Plan was the first comprehensive document that addressed water system and wastewater system long term planning for the Town of Berlin. The document evaluated current and projected water supply and wastewater disposal needs in the designated growth areas within the Town of Berlin.

The Town of Berlin Selectboard and Sewer Commission members considered the results of the project “the best report the Town of Berlin has ever received” and rely on the document as a planning tool in the development of a municipal water system and the extension of the sewer service area.
