Rain Barrel Workshops

With funding from the City of Columbus, FLOW will once again offer our popular rain barrel workshops and cost share program in the Spring of 2010. Rain barrels are a great way to conserve water and reduce your utility bills while at the same time helping to protect the Olentangy River and its tributaries.

The two-hour workshops are free and open to the public. Columbus residents who attend a workshop will be eligible to purchase a rain barrel at a cost share price of $30. Residents of other municipalities may participate in the workshop, but, due to funding restrictions, they will not be eligible to receive the cost share price.

More information about dates and registration will be available in March 2010. If you would like to be placed on an e-mail list to receive a reminder at that time, please contact us at 614-267-3386 or info@olentangywatershed.org.
