Stormwater Reuse

Timber Creek High School
Keller, Texas

Timber Creek High School and the Keller Independent
School District have incorporated green infrastructure and
low impact development elements into their design and
construction in order to conserve water, help with flood
mitigation, and provide runoff management. Opening in
August 2009, site features at Timber Creek High School
include sedimentation/retention ponds; bio-swales,
stormwater reuse (for irrigation); and native plantings.

Repurposed rock excavation and balanced earthwork
were also part of the construction process.

Implementing these practices have resulted in 80% total
suspended solids removal, reduced water consumption
saving approximately $130,000 per year, and controlled
peak runoff discharges. These features also provide onsite
education tools. This project is one of the first City of Fort
Worth stormwater credit projects.
