Rain Barrels

Rain barrels capture the water that runs off your roof and stores it for later use. Installing a rain barrel at your home helps reduce the amount of water running off your property, decreasing the amount of water and pollutants that end up in local water bodies.

The stored water can be used for a variety of purposes, including watering your flower beds or potted plants and in an emergency this water could be used to flush your toilet.

Ready-to-go rain barrels can be purchased at many stores, or if you want a fun DIY project, you can build and paint your own!
