The planning, research, and implementation of what we do provides a range of benefits for you and your city.

Better City

Clean Environment

Our work promotes the cleanest environment possible, so it can be enjoyed locally and regionally. The way in which we continually strive to improve the methods of conveying stormwater and the overall efficiency of the City’s sewer system remains a key component in protecting the water quality of Philadelphia's rivers and streams. Through this consistent effort, we’re helping your waterways become more stable and healthy, which is ultimately essential to delivering the best drinking water possible.

More Beautiful & Competitive City

Our work not only improves the health and aesthetics of our natural environment, but it also showcases Philadelphia as an ambassador of innovative stormwater management strategies. As the City’s waterways become healthier, natural habitats are restored, vegetation is able to thrive, scenic open space is utilized and appreciated, and urban neighborhoods benefit from green infrastructure technologies. These celebrated assets make Philadelphia a competitive city on a national scale.

Better Business

Raising the Profile of Your Business or Institution

Our work brings esteem to local businesses and institutions as innovative technologies reflect the advanced approaches these entities possess. Embracing and championing progressive stormwater management technologies enhances profiles as these businesses and institutions become exemplary stewards of their neighborhood, community, city, and region.

Attracting the Best Employees

Our work helps businesses and institutions attract talented employees, since it is very desirable to be affiliated with a high profile entity. Attracting higher caliber applicants would ultimately improve the quality, efficiency, and profitability of your business operations.

Job Opportunities

Better Finances

Reducing Costs

Our work means less money spent on your bottom line. As we implement initiatives to create more efficient and sustainable means of stormwater management, the cost of your water bill can be reduced. Our stormwater credit incentive encourages property owners to mitigate excessive stormwater runoff by preserving pervious cover on their land; in return, we reward such stewards with savings on their monthly water bill.

Increasing Property Values

Our work improving the health and quality of watersheds and waterways around the city helps to increase property values. As we implement green or grey infrastructure projects to improve the environmental issues of an area, the adjacent land becomes more desirable for leasing, owning or developing.

Better Education

Environmental Issues & How to Address Them

Our work promotes awareness within communities. An important component of what we do involves public outreach, so we make every effort to educate the public about environmental issues and empower them to address them. We do this in the form of public presentations, neighborhood workshops, and printed materials like newsletters or brochures accompanying your water bill.
