When we’re out meeting Philadelphia residents, we often get this question: What is the storm water charge on my monthly bill?

We asked Laura Copeland, Public Relations Manager for the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD), to explain. She covers:

• What “storm water runoff” is, and how it’s managed
• What it costs the City and water customers
• How residents can protect our water system this Fall

Watch the full interview with Laura Copeland below.
