Mystic Stormwater & Green Infrastructure Survey

We want to hear your feedback about stormwater, using green infrastructure to help soak up rainwater and reduce flooding, and the best ways to share information and work with property owners.

Your feedback will help the Town of Groton create an education and outreach plan for Mystic property owners, focused on reducing flooding using green infrastructure on private property.

Your participation is entirely voluntary, and you are welcome to respond to as many or as few prompts as you like.

Stormwater Practices and Experiences

What are your experiences, concerns, or ideas regarding stormwater and flooding?

This could include drainage problems, flooding, or erosion you've noticed in Mystic or specifically on your own property.

Please feel free to share what you think is currently working well, what isn't, or any stormwater features you already have in place.

Barriers or Challenges

What might make it hard for you or other property owners to use green infrastructure?

Consider factors like cost, time, upkeep, appearance, lack of space, or not knowing where to start.

If you have ideas for how the Town can better support property owners—or if you find green infrastructure easy to use—please share that here as well!
