Lessons learned Getting to RainWise
“Handholding” required is extremely staff intensive
City contracting process/site feasibility not suited to being built by city
Accountability for maintenance/longevity Facilities oversized, could be made
smaller (100 year storm sizing)
![Page 7: RainWise: Lessons Learned - Villanova University · 2020-06-22 · 3 Green Stormwater Infrastructure Program Implementation Residential Rainwise Green Infrastructure CIP projects-Ballard-North](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011913/5fad0ea96b4e866140404326/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
RainWise Adopted
Train the contractor model Standard 95% design guidelines for
projectsRebate instead of “free installation”
![Page 8: RainWise: Lessons Learned - Villanova University · 2020-06-22 · 3 Green Stormwater Infrastructure Program Implementation Residential Rainwise Green Infrastructure CIP projects-Ballard-North](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011913/5fad0ea96b4e866140404326/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
New Directions
City is “hands off” in contracting process
Trained vendor community
Pre and post inspections ensure quality control
Homeowner involvement in implementation hopefully strengthen commitment to maintenance
