CATCH IT — SAVE IT — USE IT

“As we continue to experience infrequent rainfall and intense heat waves, it is crucial to take meaningful action to protect our resources. Conserving water during a drought is not just a short-term solution –it is a critical step in addressing climate change.” Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Rebecca Tepper — October 2025

The weather has become unpredictable. Droughts intensify, and wells are running dry, while short, heavy downpours cause runoff and flooding instead of replenishing the ground. A rain barrel captures excess water before it is lost, turning a storm into a source of savings. It lets you collect and reuse rainwater from your roof, reducing dependence on municipal or well water. Simple, affordable, and eco-friendly, a rain barrel keeps your plants, lawn, and garden thriving through dry spells, and it is naturally free of chemicals like chlorine and fluoride.

Every Drop Counts — Rain Barrels benefit both communities and our planet by:
-Providing a clean, untreated water source that can be used for gardening and cleaning.
-Decreasing energy consumption and greenhouse emissions at water treatment plants.
-Reducing water bills by up to 40% and can save homeowners 1300 gallons of water annually.
-Using less water helps sustainably manage water as a global resource for future generations.
