When I asked Charissa Wagner, owner of Intermountain Roofscape Supply, to highlight a standout project in stormwater management, she directed me to two neighboring sites in Park City, Utah: thePark City Golf Maintenance Facilityand the3Kings Water Treatment Plant.
These adjacent projects sit in a town with a unique story—Park City, once a booming silver mining hub, is now a premier ski destination with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. At the heart of this commitment is the 3Kings Water Treatment Plant, a critical infrastructure that ensures clean drinking water for the community. Its mission is especially meaningful in a place where legacy mining has left lasting impacts on water quality and local ecosystems.

Both the Golf Maintenance Facility and the 3Kings Water Treatment Plant featureLiveRoof® green roofs—natural systems designed to manage stormwater at the source. By integrating vegetative roofing, the projects help protectgroundwater, lakes, streams, and wildlife—aligning with Park City's broader sustainability goals.

Christine Williams, Stormwater Coordinator for Park City Municipal Corporation, shared her insights on the value of the project:
“LiveRoof® green roofs support Park City’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship by offering a natural approach to stormwater management. These systems reduce runoff and improve water quality, aligning with the city’s goals to protect its natural resources and scenic character. The plants and soil on living roofs absorb rainwater, slow its movement, and ease the burden on local stormwater infrastructure. Over time, the water is released through evaporation and transpiration. By filtering out pollutants, the LiveRoof® green roof system also helps safeguard Park City’s groundwater, streams, and wildlife—contributing to a cleaner, healthier local ecosystem.”
