Overview
Trinity Presbyterian is one of 12 projects funded in part by a Clean Water Fund grant to manage rainwater runoff at churches with large amounts of impervious surfaces. The goal of this project was to install two rain gardens that intercept and filter runoff from the church parking lot. This reduces the volume of polluted rainwater draining into Battle Creek.
