Green City Clean Water Program

INTRODUCTION "The water company faces increasing pressure in the face of a new era across the country.

While seeking to meet the customer's high expectations for safe and affordable water supply, wastewater and rainwater collection and advanced treatment, flood prevention, clean, attractive and highly liquid water supply, a complex set of environments , Demographics and financial challenges Swimming rivers and streams "(Greentown Clean Water, 2011). There are problems with the waterways, ecosystems and water quality of Philadelphia.

The main project Stern discussed is the "Green City, Clean Waters" project, which is drawing attention at Crispin Street and Roland Avenue near Abraham Lincoln High School. The "Green City, Clean Waters" program aims to prevent pollution from rivers and streams by expanding infrastructure in the water sector. This project brings environmentally friendly tools to capture and absorb water from storms and bring clean water to all Philadelphia. The influence of rain is "road extension of curb sticking out in the street at the intersection." These remarkable parts have a layer of stone covered with soil and plants to protect the outflow of rainwater. People with disabilities also insist that these influences calm the traffic and make the pedestrian more secure.

The on-going green city of the Philadelphia Waterworks Bureau, the Clean Waters program, moves the goal to No. 16 and the Wellfleet Gerinrek Center in order to better manage some heavy asphalt rainwater spills. After a series of meetings at the center, Maggie Wood, a community planner and outreach expert from the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced the design and asked questions from curious neighbors. The anticipated design will eliminate some of the parking spaces in the center, set up rainwater gardens and green spaces, even community gardens, and build underground reservoirs under the playground. Rebana Layendecker, president of the Newbold Civic Association and a 2200-block inhabitant of S. Hicks St., wants to minimize parking lots and green spaces, but most voters are concerned with emergency areas in this area .

This is the classic South Philadelphia scene caused by the ongoing strategic plan of Philadelphia Waterworks Bureau. This is called Green City, Clean Waters. This program aims to mitigate the increase in pressure on municipal sewage systems and water treatment facilities by setting up infrastructure and creating green spaces to directly improve the health of the Schuylkill River. After successfully carrying out the project at Columbus Square Park, 12 and Wharton Street, 250 Le Saint Heron Playground, the Waterworks Bureau took note of the Gerin Entertainment Center, 2201 S. 16th Street.
