MUNICIPAL RAINWATER HARVESTING

Storm Water Management - Environmentally Sustainable - Community Development Tool

Concrete Pavers

Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement:

PICP Supports LID Principles

Conserve vital ecological and natural resources: trees, streams, wetlands and drainage courses

Minimize hydrologic impacts by reducing imperviousness, conserving natural drainage courses, reducing clearing, grading and pipes

Maintain pre-development time of concentration for runoff by routing flows to maintain travel times and discharge control

Provide runoff storage and infiltration uniformly throughout the landscape with small, on-site decentralized infiltration, detention and retention practices such as permeable pavement, bioretention, rain gardens, open swales and roof gardens

Educate the public and property owners on runoff and pollution prevention measures and benefits

Rainwater Harvesting Group Receives Contract

The main entrance to the Huntington Train Station will soon look “GREEN”. The town has awarded a Rainwater Harvesting and Landscaping project to the Rainwater Harvesting Group in Huntington Station New York.

The Rainxchange Rainwater Harvesting system will harvest rainwater through a permeable paver walkway at the corner of New York Avenue and Broadway. The system will collect, clean and recirculate the water and than use it to irrigate the plants that surround the beautiful waterfall and stream. When heavy rain fills the system, excess water will run out through a rain garden which will detain the water and allow it to perk through the amended soil and back into the aquifer. This project was the brainchild of Bill Renter of the Deck and Patio Company as a way of helping his community, and creating a sustainable and decorative water feature right down the street from his office. The project is expected to be built in late May 2011.
