The City of Philadelphia, through the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) and Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC), have created the Stormwater Management Incentives Program (SMIP) to offer incentives and assistance to non-residential PWD customers. These programs aim to stimulate investment in and utilization of stormwater best management practices, which reduce a parcel’s contribution of stormwater to the City’s sewer and surrounding waterways.
