Rain control…

The little green thing in the picture is a drain emitter that goes on our underground drainage. We connect the downspouts on the house and trench for "’Big O’ pipe. This allows us to get all the roof water from the corners of the house, and move that excess H2o to the edges of the water. But not right to the edge as the city of Calgary requires that we stop 2 meters from any property line to allow *some* of the water to be absorbed by the landscape. This keeps a bit of the water from going straight into the storm sewers. Good idea.
