Stormwater Credits
Capitalizing on Stormwater Credits
Depending on your location, your property may be able to take advantage of a stormwater credit program. Your municipality may offer discount credits toward the local stormwater fee based on the installation or maintenance of stormwater infrastructure on your property.
How Stormwater Credits Work
From a pre-construction perspective, stormwater credits incentivize the implementation of better site design and better location of new developments by offering credits toward stormwater utility fees. These credits can also apply to developed properties if the stormwater control measures are properly inspected and maintained. The goal is to encourage better management of stormwater including improving water quality and reducing flooding in public and private areas.
Eligibility
Property owners are eligible for the reduction in stormwater fees if the municipality believes the practices on your property alleviate the overall costs associated with managing stormwater across the entire community.

Swales are designed with soil that allows water to infiltrate the ground, providing ground water recharge. Many SCMs utilize sunlight to facilitate evaporation and vegetation to facilitate denitrification
