The City of Lancaster has established a stormwater management fee, utilizing a tiered approach based on the amount of impervious area on a given property to determine the billed rate. SWMF credits are available to all properties that implement Green Infrastructure practices which eliminate stormwater runoff from the site for all storms up to and including a one-inch storm and encourages infiltration (where soils are appropriate for infiltration practices), or reuse of captured stormwater. Up to 50% credit is available.
