    The document describes a dry well, or infiltration chamber, located beneath a BBQ pad in Killarney Way Park. A dry well is an underground reservoir that stores stormwater runoff until it soaks into the ground to recharge the drinking water aquifer. It was installed by digging a hole and placing water storage vaults at the bottom, connecting a pipe from the pavers, filling with gravel to store water in the spaces between stones, building a wall on top, filling with more gravel, and placing pervious pavers on top to complete the dry well.

    Killarney Way Park Dry Well

    Hidden beneath the new BBQ pad lays a Dry Well (a.k.a.
    infiltration chamber or cistern). A dry well is basically a large
    reservoir where stormwater is stored until it has time to soak into
    the ground and help recharge our drinking water aquifer.

    Install Steps
    1. Hole dug and water storage vaults
    placed at the bottom. The pipe beneath
    the pavers was connected to the vaults.
    2. Hole then filled with gravel. Water is
    stored in the open space (voids) between
    the stones.
    3. A wall was built on top of the gravel.
    4. Additional gravel was then filled to the
    top of the wall.
    5. Pervious pavers were placed on top of
    dry well to complete.

    Water stored in space between


    soil/gravel particles

    Storage Vault is open on bottom to


    allow water to soak into the ground.

    Stored water soaks into


    surrounding soil.
