Overview The Borough of Ebensburg (Cambria County, Pennsylvania) has established a Stormwater Program and User Fee to fund the operation and maintenance of its stormwater infrastructure. The fee is based on the impervious coverage of a parcel. To encourage private investment in stormwater management, the Borough offers a credit program allowing property owners to apply for fee reductions by implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs). Credit Program Goals The primary goals of the credit program are to: Increase public support for the stormwater fee by recognizing ongoing management activities on private property. Maintain the functionality of existing infrastructure and maximize current capacity. Limit the need for future expansion of stormwater-related infrastructure. Encourage private investment in installing and maintaining private stormwater management systems.
