NEWSFLASH:  We've filled our rain barrel back-orders, so give us a call to order yours today.  We have the best prices around, and there's no shipping to pay.  Pick-up only.  PLUS, they are re-used barrels, and the proceeds go directly to our river conservation programs.

Each year more than 34,000 gallons of rain can fall on a 30 x 40 square foot roof in Virginia. Much of this water flows across lawns, over pavement and directly into storm sewers, eventually ending up in local lakes, streams and rivers. During heavy rain events, this runoff can lead to increased streambank erosion, flooding and water pollution. The use of rain barrels is an inexpensive way to decrease storm water runoff, conserve water for garden and lawn use and save money on your water bill.

• Rain barrels are designed to collect and store rainwater for future use
• The barrels are placed under gutter downspouts or where roof lines end and water runs off
• A single rain barrel can save about 1,300 gallons of water during peak summer months
• Water can be used anywhere non-potable water is needed, such as to water lawns and gardens, wash cars and dogs, or fill children's swimming pools

Rain Barrels are made by us and include:

• 55 gallon, industrial-strength plastic barrel
• 6" round atrium grate OR screw-on cover.  Both have mosquito barriers
• 2" dia. PVC overflow pipe with mosquito barrier.
• 3/4" brass spigot for attaching a hose or filling watering containers 
• Plastic hose is available for the overflow drain @ $1/ft.  (Optional)

Price per barrel is $89.00 plus tax

Ours are home-made by our volunteers to help raise funds for our river conservation work. 
Because we re-use existing plastic barrels, our barrels conserve fossil fuels and have a very low carbon footprint.

Typically, we have white or blue barrels.
