AASHE STARS - Operations: Water


OP-23: Stormwater Management
We have built a system of collection four basins on campus. The majority of runoff from campus runs there.

Tier 2-2: Building Water Metering
Water meters are used to measure the quantity of water which passes through the service pipe into many of the individual buildings on campus, for example, Lloyd hall.

Tier 2-3: Non-Potable Water Usage
Rainwater is collected in barrels at Crawford House.  Harvested graywater is used for watering the campus garden.

For construction of the new Clayton Center, a new collection basin was created. External funds supported stormwater management efforts.  One such funding stream was from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Forestry Division awarded $20,000 to the brand new Clayton Center for the Arts at Maryville College to support planting dozens of trees for shade and stormwater mitigation.
