The next SPLASH Rain Barrel Workshop will be on September 22nd from 1pm-3pm. The workshop and $20 registration fee will include a presentation on rain barrels and instructions on how to build your own rain barrel, a 55-gallon rain barrel, and connector kit. We will also provide you with an installation guide to help you connect your new rain barrel to a downspout. You will need to be able to take home your rain barrel at the end of the workshop. Sorry, but we will not be able to store your rain barrel for pick up at a later date. Also, please note that we will only have enough barrels for those that register and will not be able to accommodate any walk-ins.

Due to the popularity of these workshops and the long waiting list, please only register one person for one barrel per household. Lastly, you will need to pay the E-470 toll to get to this workshop.
