Every year, League City promotes a rain barrel program to raise awareness about water conservation. The barrels are 50-gallon capacity, mosquito resistant, locking with a child-proof lid, and include an overflow hose attachment. They are used for harvesting rain water, which helps protect rivers and streams from runoff pollution. They also help supplement the water supply by using rainwater to irrigate gardens and landscapes.
Interested in the Rain Barrel Program? Here's how to purchase a barrel:
- Rain barrels will be available for purchase starting on Monday, April 29 till June 19 directly through the program’s website.
