Participants in the cost-share program can install a rain garden or permeable pavement at their Puyallup home. Read more about this program (PDF) or download the application (PDF). For questions or more information, please contact Stormwater Engineering via email.
Purpose of Puyallup's Cost-Share Rain Garden Program
Rain gardens manage rain where it falls, rather than letting it flow into the storm drains. While storm drains are designed to collect and carrying stormwater away, they do not treat the water in any form before it is channeled to our streams, lakes and rivers.
Puyallup's Cost-Share Rain Garden Program provides opportunities to homeowners to install GSI at their home, reducing their impervious footprint in our watershed and helping to reduce stormwater runoff.
