Rain garden manages stormwater runoff at Mt Tabor Middle School. Partnership of the school, Portland Public Schools and Environmental Services built the rain garden to reduce storm flows to the public sewer line. Sediments and pollutants are removed before the water gradually soaks into the ground. A 10-year maintenance agreement has been signed.
