Using LCCD’s model Hydroseeder collaborative agreement, six towns (Morrisville, Johnson, Waterbury, and Richmond) participate in using a vacuum excavator or Vactor. Vactor’s assist towns in cleaning and maintaining sewer, catch basins, and stormwater lines from debris, chemicals, sediments, leaves, and other pollutants that enter storm drains and eventually travel to waterways. The grants to purchase the equipment was made possible through the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Stormwater Division, for a Vermont Agency of Transportation Municipal Highway Stormwater Mitigation Program Grant.
