Stormwater Management

The Township of Cranbury is committed to implementing stormwater management practices that promote clean waterways and healthy watersheds. 

Effective stormwater management will:

  • Recharge our local groundwater aquifers
  • Reduce erosion and scour of stream banks
  • Protect wetlands and aquatic ecosystems
  • Reduce downstream flooding 
  • Reduce pollution and sedimentation of our streams

The information provided on this page documents elements of the Township’s municipal stormwater program, and includes measures that can be taken by residents to promote effective stormwater management.
