Villebois – Rainwater Management Plan Part Un (French for One)

By Andy Green | Published: March 8, 2010

Villebois, located in Wilsonville, Ore., is a new master-planned community that endeavors to connect its residents to the things that make life fulfilling and exciting. In doing so, the entire design of the community was guided by three tenets: to preserve and promote connectivity, diversity and sustainability. And the community’s innovative and federally funded rainwater management plan (RMP) achieves all three. It effectively connects the community’s residents to the area’s natural features through a diverse range of innovative means, which are described in detail in this and future posts. Most importantly, the RMP manages rainwater in environmentally sustainable ways, helping to restore the land to its natural conditions prior to the development of the community. That’s good news for Villebois’ residents — and great news for the environment.
