When it rains, stormwater picks up toxic chemicals like fertilizer, pesticides, oils and more on hard surfaces and landscapes. This water flows directly into streams, groundwater and contaminates the environment. Rain barrels are a great way to reduce stormwater runoff at your home. They catch and store stormwater runoff from your roof. The water can be used for gardening and will help you decrease your water bill.
