FREE PROGRAM HELPS HOMEOWNERS BETTER MANAGE STORMWATER
Residents of the upstream areas of the Chester, Ridley and Crum Creek Watersheds can register for a free Stream Smart House Call to identify ways to reduce runoff and protect local streams.
During a home visit, a PRC representative will provide practical recommendations tailored to the home that support cleaner water and healthier communities. Participants can learn about rain gardens, plant buffers, gutter redirection, native plant landscaping, eco-friendly yard practices and more.
This free program has been expanded to serve residents of
- Chester Heights
- East Goshen
- Edgmont
- Marple
- Newtown
- Thornbury
- Upper Providence
- Willistown
Homes in portions of nearby municipalities may also be eligible — residents can confirm eligibility when registering.
Funding for this project was awarded through the “Protect Your Drinking Water” grant program administered by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council with funding from AQUA, an Essential Utilities company. Register by visiting https://streamsmarthousecalls.org or calling PRC at 610-353-5185.
