Stormwater Management
The Town of Hillsborough is allowed to discharge stormwater to creeks and the Eno River under its Phase 2 stormwater permit from the EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.
Hillsborough’ s stormwater management program formerly was coordinated through a contract with Orange County. It now is managed in house by the town. The program’ s mission is to:
- protect the public and ecosystem’ s health and safety.
- address stormwater quality and quantity concerns.
- meet or exceed federal and state mandates regarding stormwater.
