Submitted by Visitor (not verified) on September 9, 2013 - 10:23am

Date:

September 19, 2013 - 10:00am to 11:00am

As part of the stormwater utility program, incentive payments or credits are available to help property owners reduce their stormwater utility bills. Credits are not available to single family and duplex residential property owners. In order to qualify for incentive payments or credits, property owners must install qualifying stormwater management features on their property that help reduce stormwater runoff or improve stormwater quality. Property owners have many options to choose from including rain barrels, rain gardens, permeable pavement and other stormwater absorbing features. The stormwater management features must meet certain requirements for reducing the amount of stormwater and/or improving stormwater quality.

The City will conduct a workshop on the stormwater utility program including a discussion about incentives and credits.

All workshops will be held at the Urbana Civic Center, 108 West Water Street, Urbana, Illinois.
