Detached house with infiltration in rain garden and at neighbouring properties (Middelfart 4)

This area is very narrow, so part of the roof water from the house is infiltrated on neighbouring properties. The roof water from the garage is infiltrated in a rain garden with overflow to a slab pathway. Infiltration on the neighbouring properties is registered in all relevant cadastres.

Haveselskabet has worked in close cooperation with garden owners, Middelfart Municipality, Middelfart Spildevand and NIRAS to create 7 demonstration gardens in Middelfart. In these gardens, 95% of roof and surface water is managed by means of infiltration in the gardens. The remaining water is fed to a watercourse in the forest behind the gardens.
