What is the purpose of the Environmental Swale program?
The construction of swales helps treat stormwater runoff, as well as prevent sediment, debris, and petroleum-based products, such as oil and grease, from entering our lakes. A City representative will help establish the best location for the swale to ensure that the lakes/canals have maximum benefit. The City of Maitland will pay for 20% of the cost to grade and sod the swale, or $500 per property whichever is less.
