Instead of sending rain to the drain, capture it with a rain barrel. Rain barrels connecting to home gutters or roof driplines provide a good source of free water for gardens and landscapes. Not only does it save precious drinking water, it can reduce problematic flooding when implemented throughout a neighborhood. And a big bonus is the improvement to water quality in adjacent creeks and rivers.

There are two ways that you can receive a FREE rain barrel. Either complete the Rain Barrel Voucher Application and submit it via email, or complete the Lead Pipe Survey and email us after it is submitted.
For more information on how to host a neighborhood rain barrel distribution event, contact Water Resources at (912) 651-2221 or email us.
