DISCHARGE SITE

 

Water from Boxerwood’s Nature-Emulating Waste Treatment System may be discharged into this Rain Garden.  The wastewater from Munger Lodge has gone through Media Filters and Constructed Wetlands.  It has been exposed to Ultraviolet Light.  We believe it is as safe as any other water you would find outside, but just to be sure, we suggest that you  
Refrain from Playing Here.  

The Rain Garden slows the water and offers it an opportunity to sink into the ground or be taken up by the plants here.

The other pipes discharging into the Rain Garden are simple gutters.

 

From the Greenhouse, water overflow goes back to nature to several small ponds and then into the pond.
