Target Audience:
Residents with a home where rain barrels could be placed at their downspouts to collect rainwater.
Key messages to share:
Rain barrels collect water from roofs and reduce the amount of stormwater runoff that can carry pollutants down storm drains into our lakes, rivers and streams.
Harvested water can be used later to water lawns, gardens, and potted plants, helping to conserve water and save money!
Rain barrels can improve downstream flooding by reducing the amount of runoff our roofs.
