Incentives are available for any property in the Village that installs specific types of sustainable stormwater management features. It should be noted that both the credits and incentives programs are mutually exclusive and that credits and incentives will not be awarded to the same property, with the exception of the Private Detention Basin Maintenance Credit, which can be earned in conjunction with either credits or incentives. Those properties that are eligible for credits will have to choose between the two programs. The table below summarizes the types of stormwater management features that qualify for incentives and the maximum incentive amounts available, which shall be set forth in the annual fee ordinance:
Incentive Type | Maximum Amount |
Rain Garden | Set forth in the Annual Fee Ordinance |
Runoff Rate Reduction | Set forth in the Annual Fee Ordinance |
Runoff Volume Reduction | Set forth in the Annual Fee Ordinance |
Runoff Water Quality | Set forth in the Annual Fee Ordinance |
Total Incentive Available | $1,000 |
Rain Barrel | Set forth in the Annual Fee Ordinance |
The maximum lifetime incentive amount available per property for the combination of rain gardens, rate reduction, volume reduction and water quality items is one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). Once a property reaches one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) in incentive payments for these items, no more incentives will be issued to the property regardless of the ownership. Rain barrels are not subject to any maximum lifetime incentive amount. (Ord. 2023-12, 4-25-2023)
