Rain Barrel, Pre-assembled We are sold out! Thank you for your support and we hope to see you at a future NVSWCD event!

$80

As part of a regional initiative, NVSWCD offers low-cost rain barrels. Unlike our build-your-own rain barrel workshops, we sell these barrels already assembled.

Pick-up April 19^th (9-4pm) or 20^th (9-12pm)
Falls Church, VA
 
Purchase a pre-assembled rain barrel and pick up at NVSWCD’s seedling sale! Save money, water, and help protect local streams. Pre-assembled barrels are around 42 inches high and hold approximately 50 gallons. Only two rain barrels will fit in most vehicles.

The emailed confirmation receipt will include the address of the pick-up site near Falls Church, Va. A full, nonrefundable payment must accompany your order. Orders will close if supplies run out.

At $80 each, the barrels are around 42 inches high and hold approximately 50 gallons. Only two rain barrels will fit in most vehicles.

Place it under your downspout to capture runoff from the roof. By installing a rain barrel at your home you will:

• Provide your plants with water they will love! Unlike treated water, which is "softened" with dissolved minerals, rain water is naturally soft. The water stored in your rain barrel is better than municipal water for washing your car and watering indoor or outdoor plants.
• Save money and water! Instead of water from the tap or faucet, you can use the water you've saved to keep your home landscape happy and growing. You'll also reduce your municipal water bill!
• Protect the Chesapeake Bay! Water stored in your rain barrel won't rush off into our streams. Instead, as you use the stored rain water around the home and garden, it will absorb slowly into the ground replenishing groundwater supplies. By decreasing the volume of storm runoff, rain barrels also help moderate stream erosion and the resulting pollution that is impairing the Chesapeake Bay.
• Still have questions? Please visit Northern Virginia Rain Barrel Workshops | Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District (fairfaxcounty.gov) or email rainbarrel@fairfaxcounty.gov

NVSWCD also offers lower cost, Build-Your-Own Rain Barrel Workshops. Please
