The Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) and the Sustainable Business Network (SBN) are hosting a virtual Spring Maintenance Workshop:

Thursday March 25th
9:30 AM to 11:30 AM

As the PWD Stormwater Regulations reach year 15, more and more stormwater management practices (SMPs) are being designed, built and maintained across the city each year. 

The purpose of the Maintenance Workshop is for SMP maintenance providers, regulators, and design engineers to examine the operations and maintenance phase of the SMP lifecycle and collaborate on best practices for incorporating maintenance considerations into SMP and site designs. 

Philadelphia-area maintenance providers, design engineers, and PWD will be presenting on the following topics:

  • Standard SMP maintenance practices and equipment
  • Developing a feedback loop between maintenance providers and SMP designers
  • Designing SMPs with maintenance in mind
  • PWD’s Post‑Construction Inspections Program

Please visit SBN’s website to find out more and register for the workshop. 

PWD and SBN are also looking for volunteers to present at the workshop on the above or a related topic. If you are interested, please contact alan.fody@phila.gov

SBN is also seeking exemplary GSI projects, innovations, and leaders for the 5th Annual Excellence in GSI Awards (spring 2021). Use this form for nominations.
