Rain Barrel Workshop BYOB (Bring Your Own Barrel)

The ACC Stormwater and the Water Conservation Office will hold a rain barrel workshop at Thyme After Thyme. Bring your own barrel and learn to convert plastic barrels and sturdy trash cans into rain barrels. Drop in between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.; no appointmenti is necessary. The first barrel conversion is free and each additional one is $10.

Rain barrels provide a great way to conserve water around your house and reduce stormwater runoff that may impair local streams. Call Ellison Fidler at Ellison.Fidler@Athensclarkecounty.com or 706.613.3440 x383 for more information and to learn if your container is suitable for conversion.
