Rain Barrels

A rain barrel is a system that collects and stores rainwater from a building’s rooftop

Rain barrels capture rainwater that would otherwise be lost to runoff and be diverted to our neighborhood streams and storm drains.

Benefits of harvesting your own rainwater:

  • Reduce the amount of polluted runoff that reaches our streams
  • Provide plants the water they like
  • Save energy and money used when water is processed to drinking quality standards
  • Save you money on your water bills
  • Provide water during drought periods
