A Policy Analysis of Rebate and Incentive Programs for StormwaterManagement in Local Governments.

This research will explore how local governments in the Western United States and Canada have

initiated and implemented rebate and incentive programs that help manage stormwater in community

watersheds. The exploration of stormwater rebate and incentive programs will assist the City of

Victoria in developing a rebate/incentive program for Victoria property owners. This research will fill a

knowledge gap in current stormwater management programs as current efforts in British Columbia

have not considered how best to involve property owners and interested members of the public in

changing the way in which stormwater is managed on privately owned land. Examining how rebate

and incentive programs from across Canada and the Pacific Northwest have been applied in a fair,

equitable, fle xible and progressive manner will provide valuable insight for the application of a rebate

and incentive program that supports the creation of a stormwater utility in the City of Victoria.
