What is a rain barrel?
A rain barrel is a container that connects to a downspout on your home and is used to collect and store rain water that runs off your roof. The collected rain can be used to water your landscaping, which can reduce your water bill. By redirecting your downspout, you can help prevent the storm sewer system from becoming overwhelmed by excess stormwater. This can reduce water pollution, flooding, erosion, and sewer overflows throughout your community.
As rain water flows over a roof surface it can pick up pollutants such as bacteria from birds and other animals as well as chemicals from roofing materials. This is important to consider when thinking about using rain barrel water on edible plants. Water collected in rain barrels should never be used for human consumption.
