The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) is committed to making green infrastructure part of the solution to improve water quality affected by stormwater runoff in our area. They are currently accepting applications for PWSA’s Green Infrastructure Grant Program. Residents can apply for up to a $50,000 matching grant, and community organizations can apply for up to a $5,000 mini grant for storm water mitigation projects. The goal of this program is to support local, grassroots efforts that:
- Employ green infrastructure practices to improve water quality
- Enhance conservation
- Restore habitat
- Stimulate economic growth
- Educate people about stormwater issues and stewardship actions
“This grant program will position PWSA as a leader in green infrastructure while leveraging additional private and public investment. Recipients will join PWSA in its efforts to improve Pittsburgh’s water quality,” PWSA Interim Executive Director Jim Good said.
