This detail shows a reconfigured fire garden within the city. Fire hydrants
connected to the storm water system are reformed and occupy a place within
a sunken garden. This garden is planted with wetland grasses and links storm
drains and fire outlets. Storm water gutters are also planted with wetland
grasses to begin the cleaning process as water runs off the streets.During
summer months the hydrants are periodically flushed, this flushing becomes
a civic event throughout the city and allows people to play in the spray
of the water while witnessing the cycle of civic water. |
