The Wrack: alheim

Stormwater runoff can be a major source of pollution into our waterways. Stormwater is groundwater from melting snow or rain that is not absorbed by the ground because of impervious surfaces such as driveways, parking lots, roofs, patios, and even lawns. Any pollutant on those surfaces could then be carried directly to our streams. However, if you have a waterfront property at the top of a hill with a well groomed lawn and patio, don't panic! There are now easy do-it-yourself solutions for your home to reduce your stormwater runoff.

"Wow!" was the interjection of the day, the universal response of visitors stepping into the Alheim Commons for a look around before and after the dedication ceremony this morning. The compliments came easily — wonderful spaces, beautiful colors, impressive kitchen, comfy quarters... very nice.
