To learn about our stormwater fee credit program, please download and review the Stormwater Credit Manual.

Residential property owners interested in the stormwater fee credit program will need to meet certain requirements and maintain their stormwater systems. By doing so, their stormwater charges will be reduced to the next lower tier level, and those in Residential Tier 1 will receive a 50% reduction. 

Non-residential property owners interested in the stormwater fee credit program may reduce their stormwater charges by up to 60% by meeting the City of Pittsburgh’s 2019 development standards or up to 45% when the 2016 development standards are met. 

If you have general questions about the credit program, please email info@pgh2o.com.
