Stormwater is the process of water flowing into waterways when it is unable to be absorbed into the ground. As it flows, this water accumulates pollutants, which it carries into the waterways and decreases their quality. If you would like to learn more on the processes and solutions for stormwater, click Here! Our District has several resources available for stormwater mitigation, including hydroseeding, rain barrels, and more! If you have any questions about our resources, stop by or contact the District any time during business hours. 

Rain Barrels For Sale

Our rain barrels come with the hardware already installed. The barrels are food safe, but using roof runoff water is NOT recommended as a drinking source for humans or pets.

The barrels are paintable if you use paints appropriate for plastics. We recommend that you seal the painted work so that it won't pop off or become scratched.

The lids are a two part lid - similar to the design of a canning jar - a ring and insert. This design/configuration is helpful to you because you can discard the insert and replace it with nylon screen to keep the water you've collected free of debris and keep mosquitos out.

The cost of the barrels is $55.00. Please call 518-962-8225 to purchase or with any other questions.

Rain barrel workshop events are hosted and materials are provided to make your own. Stay tuned for event dates.
