Rain Barrel Workshop

Event Summary

Did you know that 50% of the pollution in our lakes and rivers is washed in by storm water? Or that water use can increase by 40-50% during the summer months, mostly because of outdoor water use? Help slow down storm water runoff and reduce your water consumption by installing a rain barrel! 

Join Winneshiek County Conservation in a hands-on workshop to construct your own 55-gallon rain barrel! All materials and tools will be provided, as will information on how to collect and use runoff rain water.

A $20 materials fee per barrel is due at the time of the workshop. Only a limited number of barrels are available and registration is required by March 10 by calling (563) 534-7145. Additional workshops will be scheduled as possible.  

Please make sure you are able to transport your barrel after the workshop.
