The Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) and its many local partners are national leaders in understanding water resource challenges and pioneering solutions that improve our natural ecosystems and communities.

As part of our ongoing effort to highlight new ways of looking at rainwater runoff through our StormwaterPA program, GreenTreks has been working with PWD to document some of the exciting transformations that are taking place throughout the city – one home, one street, one neighborhood at a time.

Join us for a toast on the green carpet this Wednesday, October 6, to preview videos from our latest series. Green City, Clean Waters brings PWD’s work to life, and shows how their “green” methods of preserving and restoring our waterways protect public health and improve our quality of life in surprising ways.
