All campus parking lots and four residence halls drain into dry wells which relieves pressure on the antiquated sewage system of Terre Haute. We have installed four large rain gardens in the last few years to help with rainwater runoff. All of Chestunut street is drained without the need for sewer runoff. We are constructing a new North Residence Hall which will be completely disconnected from the storm water runoff.
