Green tools like rain gardens, tree trenches and bumpouts are being designed for local streets and other spaces and will capture stormwater runoff coming down the streets in Germantown while adding new green spaces. Construction for these projects will start in approximately two years, and we'll be holding community meetings to provide updates and get input from neighbors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please RSVP<\/a> to help us provide enough refreshments.<\/h5>\n

Additional PWD staff will be there to answer questions about customer assistance programs like our new income-based billing, water bills, and educational and environmental programs from PWD and the Tookany\/Tacony-Frankford (TTF) Watershed Partnership.<\/a><\/p>\n
