Description

This commercial driveway was constructed from permeable pavers to allow for stormwater infiltration.  The pavers have a filtering chamber, and overflow is piped into an old hand-dug well on the site.  In addition, 60% of roof runoff is piped underground to a separate filtering chamber, which also overflows into the well. The hope is to reuse the stored water in the future for irrigation and truck washing.
