Build a Rain Barrel Workshop

filed under: Green / LEED posted on May 12th, 2009

The Village of Weston is sponsoring a workshop to learn how to build a rain barrel, Saturday, May 30th, from 9:00 rain-barrel a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Weston Municipal Center. Learn how a rain barrel can help conserve water and keep our lakes & streams clean at the upcoming workshop, then build a barrel to take home. Along with the benefits of reducing pollution, rain barrels also reduce your dependence on the water utility for irrigation water â€“ lowering your water bill and saving energy. While it may seem small, everything we can do to cut back on water used for irrigation translates to reducing the need for more water pumping and storage capacity and translates to lower costs. Seating is limited. To register contact Kris Tiles, UW-Extension Basin Educator for Natural Resources at 715.261.1254. Cost is $15.
