Green Infrastructure:

Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Bioretention
Item 2:	Trees
Item 3:	Green Roofs
Item 4:	Permeable Pavement
Item 5:	Cisterns

Item 4:	Retrofitting/adding AMR capabilities or leak equipment to existing meters.
Item 5:	Conducting water utility audits, leak detection studies, and water use efficiency baseline studies, which are reasonably expected to result in a capital project or in a reduction in demand to alleviate the need for additional capital investment.
Item 6:	Developing conservation plans/programs reasonable expected to result in a water conserving capital project or in a reduction in demand to alleviate the need for capital investment.
Item 7:	Recycling and water reuse projects that replace potable sources with non-potable sources (Gray water, condensate, and wastewater effluent reuse systems, extra treatment or distribution costs associated with water reuse).
Item 8:	Retrofit or replacement of existing landscape irrigation systems to more efficient landscape irrigation systems.
Item 9:	Water meter replacement with traditional water meters.*
Item 10:	Distribution pipe replacement or rehabilitation to reduce water loss and prevent water main breaks.*

Item 12:	New water efficient landscape irrigation system, where there currently is not one.*
Item 13:	Implementation of incentive programs to conserve water such as rebates.
Item 14:	Installing WaterSense labeled products (https://www.epa.gov/watersense)
Item 15:	Projects that result from a water efficiency related assessments (such as water audits, leak detection studies, conservation plans, etc.) as long as the assessments adhered to the standard industry practices referenced above.
Item 16:	Distribution system leak detection equipment, portable or permanent.
Item 17:	Automatic flushing systems (portable or permanent).
