The PA Department of Environmental Protection and the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) will sign a groundbreaking agreement that will allow PWD to officially implement its Green City, Clean Waters plan. PWD plans to spend approximately $2 billion over the next 25 years to use primarily green stormwater infrastructure (stormwater tree trenches, porous pavement, rain gardens, sidewalk planters) to transform manmade surfaces that repel the rain into Greened Acres that capture, infiltrate and manage rainwater runoff.
