June 26, 2013, the Brookfield WPCA has modified regulations to adopt a change in billing frequency from quarterly to semi-annually. Bills will be sent out in December and June of each year.
January 23, 2013, the Brookfield WPCA has modified regulations to remove the Outlet Capacity Charge originally adopted in 1997. After competing the 20-year capacity study, it is clear that this charge to accrue money to fund future growth, soley by new customers, did not seem appropriate and, further, would not be needed for another 10-15 years. Money received by the WPCA under the Outlet Capacity Charge program was returned to the current property owners. The total amount was just over $450,000.
January 11, 2012, the Brookfield WPCA has adopted updated regulations along with a revised sewer map. The current version of the sewer system map is shown below.
August 24, 2011: Denial of a Building Permit in the Case of a Delinquent Account.
September 29, 2010: The Authority amended Section 7.1.3, Determination of Use and Danbury Plant Charges, of the Sewer Use Regulations to add provisions for determining unit charges for physical fitness or sports training facilities, gyms and clubs. A Public Hearing on January 11, 2012 was held to amend certain technical rules regarding piping standards, to bring Brookfield regulations in line with State regulations.
