The Heal Our Waterways Program offers a cost-share program for the installation of large-scale stormwater solutions in the Bradley and Hewletts Creeks Watersheds. This is a first-come, first-serve program until funding runs out each fiscal year. Projects must be approved prior to construction and go beyond treatment required by state and local regulations to be eligible for rebates.
*New for 2025 - rebates have doubled! The maximum rebate is now up to $20,000, based on project type and size.*
What can be installed?
Large-scale stormwater solutions, such as constructed wetlands, bioretention areas, infiltration basins, permeable pavement, and rainwater harvesting. Check the resources below for details and examples!
Who can apply?
Commercial, mixed use, and high-density properties and HOA common areas located within the Bradley Creek, Hewletts Creek, or connected Drains to ICW Watersheds are eligible. See a map of eligible watersheds here: Map of Eligible Areas for Cost-Share Rebates(PDF, 339KB)
