D.C. homeowners can apply for a stormwater audit through the DOEE’s RiverSmart Homes program, which offers financial and technical support for green infrastructure installations. After applying, a representative will assess your property in person or virtually and provide a report with recommendations in two to four weeks. DOEE can then connect you with a contractor to install the recommended features, often at little to no cost.
