Resident describes how to apply for Oshkosh stormwater utility credit — 'create an account' and upload photos
Summary
A committee member walked through the city’s stormwater utility credit application, saying applicants must create an account on the Oshkosh portal, upload photos or documentation for rain barrels or rain gardens, pay a nominal application fee ($10.58), and expect a 30‑day inspection/approval window.
A committee member (S4) detailed their experience applying for a residential stormwater utility credit on the City of Oshkosh portal, offering step‑by‑step guidance to residents. S4 said applicants must create an account, choose among residential options (manufactured rain barrel, rain garden, or shoreline repairs), upload photos or documentation of installations, and submit a small processing payment to trigger an engineering review.
"I did the application for the rain barrels and the rain garden," Committee member (S4) said, describing the portal flow and required uploads. S4 told the board the application system will ask for an impervious‑area number (a best guess can be entered) and that after submission the engineering department has 30 days to inspect the property and finalize approval. The committee recommended staff confirm webpage navigation steps and consider a short how‑to guide for residents seeking credits.
