Rain Barrels
Rain barrels are an excellent way to collect stormwater in the warmer months, but can deteriorate and crack if left outside in the cold winters. Take care of your rain barrel this winter to prevent damage. Follow these simple steps to ensure that your rain barrel lasts for many years to come: Move the rain barrel inside when temperatures fall below 40° F Empty any water or debris from the rain barrel and disconnect it from the downspout Store the rain barrel upside down in a warm and dry place such as your garage or basement If you don’t have a place to store the rain barrel inside, you can turn it upside down and leave it outside. By following these steps your rain barrel will stay in great condition to collect rainwater for upwards of 15 years.
