The first event was so successful we’re doing it again!

Join the Historic South Park Neighborhood Association and the Sierra Club for a Do It Yourself Rain Barrel Workshop. Each participant will receive a 55 gallon food grade plastic barrel, DIY Earth Minded diverter kit, and learn how to install their barrel at home. Lawn and garden watering can make up 40% of a home’s summer water usage.

Harvesting runoff water helps ease the load on our storm sewer system, reduces energy used by water treatment and pumping stations, and can reduce your water and sewer bill. (source: US EPA) Please, sign up below for Sunday, June 22, from 2-4 p.m. at 32 Alberta Street.

Registration is limited to the first 20 registrants. A $30 donation to Historic South Park is suggested. To register for the workshop, please use this form
