Facilitating an ambitious, game-changing program
The Philadelphia Water Department sought an affordable, environmentally friendly way to both manage its stormwater and comply with Clean Water Act regulations: the Green City, Clean Waters program. Our team of water engineers, landscape architects, city planners, and biologists have been deeply invested in the program since it began. The combined power of these improvements has allowed Philadelphia to achieve a 2.7 billion gallon reduction in combined sewer overflows: a 21% improvement from the program’s inception.
The power to soak up 27,000 gallons of runoff
During a one-inch storm, the equivalent of a SEPTA city bus can be absorbed.
