Rain Barrels

We believe that clean water starts right in our own backyards. Stormwater runoff from residential roofs and driveways carries pollutants across the pavement and into the River. Our Rain Barrel Program empowers River residents to become a part of the solution by capturing rainwater right where it falls. 

A Rain Barrel is a storage container connected directly to your home’s gutter downspout, instead of allowing rain to rush off your roof, down the driveway, and into the municipal storm system or into the River as runoff, the barrel intercepts and stores this clean water for later use. such as watering gardens or lawns.
