Storm Smart

Storm Smart logo

The Storm Smart program exists to work with property owners throughout the Mad River Valley to protect our roads and rivers. By finding ways to slow down, spread out, and sink in stormwater on our own land we can avoid costly erosion on town and private roads while protecting aquatic life and a long tradition of swimming in crystal clear water on hot summer days.
