Storm Sewer
The storm drain system in the site is entirely surficial.  Street-side swales and dished lanes take the place of the typical buried storm sewers.  Decreased flow rates and on-site water storage mean percolation and ground water recharge are maximized.
Sanitary Sewer
Site sanitary sewers of the Sustainable Alternative Development case study site are constructed under road pavement.
Water
Water lines in this pattern are buried under the gravel parking lane where they can easily be accessed for repairs.
Gas
Gas lines are buried under the lane as is common in Vancouver's older neighbourhoods
Electric (Hydro)/Telephone/Cable
These utilities are provided aerially from the lane to save space and expense.
