Rainwater from the roof of Hosford Middle School in Southeast Portland will soak into a new swale instead of the city sewer, helping to support clean rivers. The project disconnects a downspout and directs approximately 4,600 square feet of roof area rain runoff to a swale at the northwest corner of the school. In addition to swale construction, the project includes student education in the classroom and in the field. The project supports the City of Portland's Tabor to the River program to reduce combined sewer overflows and restore watershed health. DeSantis Landscapes broke ground in
