Dear Reader:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Wednesday afternoon (March 18), Development Services’ Stormwater Connect website\u00a0will be offline for scheduled maintenance<\/strong>. While this interruption is only scheduled for two hours\u2014between 1:00 and 3:00 PM\u2014we are hopeful the inconvenience will be minimal for site users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is “Stormwater Connect?” Launched in 2022, this web application was designed to help stormwater vendors and property owners find each other to implement\u00a0Stormwater Grants<\/a>\u00a0projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the subject of maintenance, built stormwater management practices (SMPs) require constant attention and care to ensure optimal performance. If your property has stormwater management infrastructure installed, it is likely in need of a check-up. Development Services maintains a list of local SMP maintenance providers\u00a0that can be accessed via this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you considering a Stormwater Grants application in 2026? Then be sure to review PWD’s\u00a0Stormwater Grants Application Guide<\/a>.<\/em>\u00a0This resource explains property eligibility for grants, how to put together a project team, and all application requirements. And if you are definitely pursuing a retrofit for your property, we recommend creating an account on the above-mentioned\u00a0Stormwater Connect<\/a><\/em>\u00a0platform (it’s free!) as your first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0information? Last year, Development Services hosted a webinar focused on\u00a0Stormwater Grants<\/em><\/a>, an overview that included details on the program’s application process. Readers who were unable to attend or wish to revisit the presentation may use this link<\/a> to access the recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
