Green Stormwater Infrastructure Services Expand in 2026

CRWC’s new Rain to Roots program is set to grow in 2026 with the help of funding from the DTE Foundation. This support makes it possible for CRWC to provide site assessments and rain garden design and installation to residents in Center Line, Sterling Heights, and Warren, for a discount as high as 75%. Rain barrel installation will be available at full price.

These communities were selected due to a high occurrence of flooding. Requests from other communities will be considered on a case-by-case basis for full-priced services depending on staff availability.

For 2026, DTE has provided funding for 16 site assessments, eight rain garden designs, and four rain garden installations.
