Northern Virginia Rain Barrel Registration
Anxiously awaiting your rain barrel? Rain barrel workshops and distribution events are finally here!
A rain barrel is placed under the downspout to collect water from the roof. The rain barrels hold approximately 50 gallons. They are 23 inches wide and range from 41.25 inches to 43.75 inches tall. Rainwater collection can help you save water for use in your yard, eliminate potential flooding in your basement, and reduce stormwater management costs. Water running off your roof during a rainstorm can be a problem or a resource put to good use!
Already have your barrel? Look here for helpful hints on what to do when you get your rain barrel home! Installation Instructions (PDF)
There are two ways to acquire your rain barrel. Attend a build your own rain barrel workshop or purchase a pre-made barrel.
