Edison High School – Stormwater Reuse Tank Construction
A photo showing construction of the underground storage tanks at Edison High School in Northeast Minneapolis. The tanks will capture stormwater runoff from the school's gymnasium roof and nearby areas and then store it beneath a future parking lot. The captured stormwater will be used to irrigate the nearby athletic field via a system of pumps and irrigation controls.
The project is one part of a larger "green campus" initiative at Edison. The MWMO, Minneapolis Public Schools and the Holland Neighborhood Improvement Association are have partnered to fund the project. In addition to reducing the amount of pollution that flows into the Mississippi River via storm drains, the project will support environmental education goals for the Edison community.
