A: The Town of La Plata, as a municipality, can provide details to the public and citizens regarding these particulars — however, here is some insight we can provide:
- The HUB, by the nature of the design principles employed in its planning, will have significantly less impervious land area than a conventionally designed subdivision, and will also make full use of current state-of-the-art (best practices) strategies for storm-water management and water-quality impact.
- These will include: ground water (aquifer) recharge facilities such as rain gardens, bio-swales, storm-water capture/reuse (cisterns), permeable surfaces where appropriate, etc., as well as low-flow fixtures, and possibly gray-water landscape watering to minimize inputs into the Town’s current waste-water treatment systems and overall water demands.
