The amount of stormwater entering
our stormdrains increases with
every non-pervious surface (roads,
roofs, parking lots) we build.
STORMWATER
Rain or Snow Melt that enters the
stormdrains or flows directly into our
waterways
What Can We Do To Help?
Soak It Up
Slow It Down
Spread It Out
A Rain Barrel is a great way to:
• Conserve Water – During Summer; outdoor chores
such as watering lawns and gardens amount to 40% of
household water used. Conserving water is important
to help preserve our fresh water supply.
• Save Energy – Water Supply and Treatment account for
4% of the power generated.
• Save Money – by lowering your water bill
• Reduce Pollution – Less water traveling to the
stormdrains, less contamination, less water volume,
less bank erosion, less sediment.
• Re-charge Our Ground Water – By redirecting to
another location in your yard for slow release.
USES FOR THE HARVESTED
WATER
Watering Flowers
Washing your car or windows
Water for the Birds or other animals
Water supply for large
gardens, irrigation systems or ponds.
Water supply on days when water
restrictions are in place.
