Overview[edit]

You know that typical drawings are no substitute for properly configured design!

Exfiltration Systems[edit]

Please see below a Profile view of an exfiltration system (or perforated pipe system) designed for use in the city of Barrie and used in conjunction with a typical storm sewer system. Note: This cross section installment is 'not located within a WHPA', although the source document for this drawing showcases a similar design configuration, that is 'located within a WHPA', which is not supported by STEP.
