Palo Alto Offers Rebate for Installing Hydro-Flo Hybrid(TM) Permeable Pavers

The city of Palo Alto, in order to reduce the amount of stormwater runoff, have begun to encourage homeowners and businesses to invest in permeable driving surfaces. The City of Palo Alto is offering $1.50 rebate per square foot (up to $1000 residential, $10,000 commercial), which makes these paving products fiscally competitive with normal paving methods.

There are three primary classes of permeable paving products; porous asphalt, pervious concrete, and permeable interlocking concrete pavers. All these products depend on one principle: holes. The holes weaken the final product and can also pose trip hazards. Also, there are maintenance costs since the holes can be plugged with debris.

The Hydro-Flo Pavingstone is in a class all its own. Its percolation system does not depend on holes for drainage, so it does not have any of these drawbacks. It looks exactly like our regular pavingstones, but it has been modified with our Hydro-Flo Technology to enable over 3 inches of water per hour to pass through.

Take advantage of this rebate offer. Using permeable pavers can help you to take advantage of LEED points as well. There are many other benefits to this product.
