North Philly: Your Turn To Soak It Up

Don't forget to come out today at 4:30 at 7th and Cumberland streets in eastern North Philadelphia to celebrate the Philadelphia Water Department's green infrastructure project. The stormwater tree trench on Cumberland St. absorbs runoff during storms and helps prevent sewer overflows into our rivers and streams. PWD's Soak It Up crew will be there with free refreshments, art activities, flower plantings and plenty of information about our green infrastructure projects.
