Gilbert Water Tower
Gilbert Water Tower Project
Permeable pavers were used around the historic water tower paying homage to its past and future importance, capturing water for landscaping and fountains.
Around the historic water tower in Gilbert, permeable pavers were installed to create an open plaza that serves both as a public gathering space and as a stormwater capture zone. The permeable surface helps manage rainfall by allowing runoff infiltration, which is used for adjacent landscaping irrigation. The design pays homage to the tower’s heritage while integrating modern sustainable infrastructure.
