What is WREP?

A regional program to address stormwater, flooding and water quality issues.

​Why is it necessary?

Dauphin County’s municipalities have faced a growing range of water-related issues in recent years. The cost to address them has risen due to the increasing complexity of their impact and the environmental regulations associated with them.

​What will it do?

For municipalities who join, it will provide a central framework to coordinate efforts and create strategic partnerships.

 

WREP is an action outlined in our Countywide Action Plan, which is providing annual grant funding for shovel-ready projects.

​Who are the participating municipalities?

Will it save money?

It will cut municipal spending on water-related issues by as much as 60 to 90 percent and save taxpayer dollars. The overall savings will rely on participation: the more municipalities involved, the more they will save. (For example, on the current Conewago Creek Restoration Project, the participating municipalities will save an average of over $900,000.)​​

Are there other benefits?

It will save municipalities considerable time and effort by enabling them to participate in regionalized services where it makes the most sense to do so.
