RAIN BARREL SEASON IS HERE |
You can reduce water pollution, lower your water costs, and help preserve Lake Michigan -- all by capturing water from your roof's downspout into a rain barrel. Rain barrels are fun, and easy to install! The MMSD Rain Barrel program was created to reduce the amount of storm water entering the District's system, as a part of our Every Drop Counts” campaign. RAIN BARRELS store 55 gallons of rainwater from your roof that you can use when it's dry to give thirsty gardens, flowers and trees a drink. Rain barrels help keep excess water out of the sewer system when it rains. They also help prevent rain from becoming polluted stormwater runoff, the biggest remaining threat to clean water in the United States. CLICK HERE to see the list of retail and non-profit organizations that promote and sell rain barrels across the sewer service area, increasing the ease to purchase, while spreading the message of how all in our community can be active in improving water quality in our region. |
