Introduction: The Water Investment Division coordinates investment of State and federal funding to all types of clean water and drinking water infrastructure in Vermont.
Our vision is that Vermonters equitably benefit from clean water that provides for public health, safety, use, and enjoyment.
Owners of dams capable of impounding more than 500,000 cubic feet of water are responsible for the payment of the annual fee based on the hazard class of the dam. The Dam Safety Program has an active program of dam safety inspections that will be supported with these fees in combination with general funds supported by all Vermont taxpayers. This will ensure continued service to the regulated community in Vermont and to fulfill DEC’s mission: to preserve, enhance, restore and conserve Vermont’s natural resources and protect human health for the benefit of this and future generations.
