Make Your Own Rain Barrel

Come out to learn how to build your very own rain barrel from a re-purposed plastic barrel.  Diverting water from your roof into rainwater catchment systems has several advantages:

  • Reduces the volume of stormwater
  • Backup source of water during times of drought or between rain showers
  • Naturally softened water – great for delicate houseplants, auto cleaning and window washing
  • Saves money by lowering your water bill

Sign up by emailing your name and color selection or by calling.  Attendees should enter through the back door of the building.  Walk to the parking lot behind the building and enter the door closest to the Ebster Pool.  There is a sign on the door for the Active Living Department.

Price includes all parts and tools.
