“From day one, the Board wanted a permeable lot, a view heightened by the long-term drought in the southeast which drastically lowered lake levels and threatened drinking water supplies. They visited pervious concrete and permeable interlocking concrete pavement projects in the region. This raised everyone’s confidence in these types of systems. The board went with PICP because of easy repairs and a better looking surface.”

“Infiltration is so high that there hasn’t been any water captured in the monitoring wells.The PICP is performing adequately being subject to parked cars, traffic and street sweeping."
This short video discusses current stormwater management practices and shows how permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) can be used as part of an effective sustainable, low impact developm
