Proposals to create a 2024 Master Flood Erosion and Erosion Coantrol Plan for the Town of Fairfield, CT. Fairfield is a coastal community with a population of 61,000 residents and roughly 21, 000 residential houses. Approximately 15% of the towns' residential housing sits in a flood plain which, in Super Storm Sandy, acted as a bowl that trapped flood waters for 4 days. The town has conceptual plans for a pump station that would be designed to quickly drain a portion of this "basin" in the event of future such storms. In 2018, and in 2021 due to these intense rain events, several neighborhoods in the Rooster River watershed experienced severe flooding. The town also experiences pluvial/stormwater flooding in the downtown area, in underpasses under the railroad tracks; and increasingly sees sunny day flooding along shoreline roads. Despite its size, Fairfield still has a small town feel and values its historical heritage as well as its significant natural resources. The town would like to maintain its economic tax base, guide development to reflect a more resilient future and protect its natural resources for generations to come.
