Not only does West Whiteland Township have a comprehensive Stormwater Management Ordinance that contains stormwater management standards and regulations, but there is also a county-wide Stormwater Management Plan for Chester County. We take stormwater management seriously and we hope you do too.

There are many ways that you can help project our stormwater!

Practice healthy household habits for your lawn and vehicle!

• Plant a rain garden
• If you fertilize your lawn, follow the directions on the bag and use sparingly. Rain washes fertilizer along the curb, into the storm drain and directly into our lakes and streams.
• Wash your car on grass or gravel instead of the street. Better yet, take it to a car wash where the water gets treated and recycled.When you wash your car in your driveway, the soap, scum and oily grit run along the curb, into the storm drain and into our bodies of water.
• Fix oil leaks on your vehicle immediately.Leaking oil goes from car to street to storm drain to local waterways.
• Dispose of pet waste properly - preferably in the toilet. Rain washes pet waste and bacteria into our storm drains and pollutes our waterways.
