Rain Barrel Class

When: Sunday, July 18th at 2:00pm
Where: Douglas/Sarpy Extension Office (8015 W. Center Rd.)
Would you like to conserve water, save a little money on your water bill and reduce your stormwater runoff? A rain barrel placed under a downspout captures roof runoff for landscape use. In this class you will assemble a rain barrel for your yard and learn a bit about stormwater runoff. The barrel and most materials will be provided; you supply a bit of do-it-yourself labor. Please remember that you will be taking home a rain barrel that measures approximately 35” high and 24” in diameter, as well as two pieces of PVC pipe approximately 5 feet in length. When you install the barrel, you will need concrete blocks or pavers on which to elevate the barrel and you will need to cut your downspout in order to make it drain into the barrel.Fee: $40.00 per barrel
