BUDGET SUMMARY
Waterford has been diligent in our efforts to always be mindful of our budget and
how increases affect our tax payers. We are always re-evaluating our processes, and
learning new strategies to streamline systems for a more efficient government. We
are committed to keeping up with the needs of our residents, in a forever changing
time, providing resources, supporting one another and remaining a strong
community.
The Town of Waterford prides itself in its outstanding public education, municipal
management, recreational opportunities, and high quality of life. Abundant with
parks and recreational spaces, restaurants & cafes, farms, orchards, local attractions,
and shopping centers, residents and visitors consider Waterford a great place to live,
learn, work, play, and do business. The Town continuously seeks opportunities for
innovation and improvement and identifies ongoing methods to meet the evolving
needs of our diverse community.
Throughout 2021, the pandemic continued to create hardships for various businesses
and residents within our community. 
As a town, we continued to work with
businesses, volunteers, the Waterford Rotary and Waterford Youth & Family
Services through the “Waterford Cares” initiative. In doing so, we focused efforts
and attention on the needs of our residents, emotionally, financially, spiritually and
physically. The town received funds through FEMA, $101,996.52 and the State of
Connecticut, $106,599.98 to be used in response to the COVID pandemic. These
funds were used for COVID tracking, building disinfecting services, pandemic
communication, PPE supplies and salaries for additional first responder shits
throughout the pandemic.
The town was able to complete large capital projects such as the Waterford Beach
Bathroom Project and road paving with a FY2021 mill rate decrease of -0.11 or a (-
39%). We continue to strive to do more with the funding entrusted to us by our
residents while ensuring all town services continue.
