Green infrastructure is a cost-effective, sustainable approach to mitigating stormwater pollution by treating stormwater where it falls while also delivering environmental, social, and economic benefits. Sweet Water is committed to increasing green infrastructure adoption in southeastern Wisconsin.

We promote the use of green infrastructure to improve water quality

One way in which we do this is through working with Clean Wisconsin, 1000 Friends of Wisconsin, and others to identify and remove barriers to green infrastructure that are written into municipal codes and ordinances.

We also work with Clean Wisconsin to provide workshops to municipalities and other stakeholders to increase awareness and practical knowledge about green infrastructure in the community of practice.
