Philadelphia Green City, Clean Waters Program

The Philadelphia Water Department presents their Green City, Clean Waters vision for meeting our regulatory obligations while helping to revitalize our City. The manual outlines a green stormwater infrastructure approach which is partnered with stream corridor restoration and preservation and with wet weather treatment plant upgrades. Includes requirements and incentives for green stormwater infrastructure to manage runoff; a large-scale street tree program to manage stormwater; increased access to recreational opportunities along green corridors and waterfronts; preserved open space; restored streams with physical habitat enhancements; and opportunities to convert abandoned lands into open space.
