Steps
Review the Stormwater Credits Program overview at https://water.phila.gov/stormwater/incentives/credits/ to confirm the property class (non-residential, condo, or multi-family residential) qualifies
If the retrofit is substantial, check https://water.phila.gov/stormwater/incentives/grants/ for Stormwater Grant funding to help pay for design/construction of the retrofit itself, separate from the ongoing bill credit
Confirm the current grant application cycle deadline directly on the grants page before promising a client a funding timeline — cycles, deadlines, and pre-application meeting windows change year to year
After construction, apply for the Stormwater Credit to reduce the monthly stormwater charge, documenting the completed retrofit per PWD's submission requirements
For qualifying-practice or credit-calculation questions, contact PWD's Stormwater Incentives team (215-685-6070 / PWD.StormwaterCredits@phila.gov) rather than relying solely on the web pages, since case-specific eligibility can vary
Known gotchas
Grants and credits are two distinct programs (one funds construction, the other reduces the ongoing bill) — don't conflate them when scoping a client's expected savings
Grant application windows are seasonal with hard deadlines and a required pre-application-meeting lead time; missing that lead time can bump a project to the next cycle
