Green Infrastructure: Coming to a Rain Garden Near You All over the City, Green Infrastructure is blooming. Featuring technology like permeable pavement and rain gardens, these projects manage stormwater through local infiltration, reduce the burden on the sewer system and make better use of rainwater to improve the neighborhood. This summer we completed the Holloway Green Street Project. This is the first green infrastructure project funded through the State Revolving Fund Program, which provides low-cost financing that saves ratepayer dollars.
