Stormwater Financing Feasibility Study in Lancaster County, PA

The EFC worked with six municipalities located in Lancaster County – East Cocalico, Manheim, Warwick, and West Lampeter Townships, and Lititz and Mount Joy Boroughs – to conduct a stormwater management financing feasibility study that included looking at ways the communities could address regulations collaboratively to reduce costs and improve local programs. 

The objective of this effort was to identify the current level of stormwater service for each municipality, determine the future level of service needed to deliver a comprehensive stormwater management program, and highlight any and all opportunities to work collaboratively across the collective municipalities.
