Rain Barrel Program
Rain Barrels
The Village partners with The Conservation Foundation annually to offer rain barrels and accessories for purchase. Residents can have their rain barrels delivered to their homes for an additional fee or pick them up from Village Hall on the designated pick-up day.

The Importance of Rain Barrels
Using rain barrels is one simple, efficient, low-cost method to reduce stormwater runoff from your property. Estimates indicate that a quarter-inch of rain falling on an average home yields over 200 gallons of water. Rain barrels are simply large containers that capture stormwater from your roof that you would otherwise lose in the runoff.
Modern barrels are sealed, safe around children, and insect-resistant—they can even be painted or decorated to your liking. You can divert water from your downspout to fill your rain barrel, and a hose spigot in the front makes the water easy to access and use.
Barrel pick-up from Village Hall is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, June 6, from 10A-6P.
