Thousands of gallons of clean rainwater draining off the roof deck onto bare soil turning into thousands of gallons of water that’s too dirty to discharge without treatment.

Without such a system, the dirty water had to be treated chemically to reduce the turbidity enough to discharge to the storm system.
