With another dry summer expected this year, we all need to do our part to conserve water and use it wisely. A rain barrel is a great way to do this. You can use what you collect to water your trees, lawn and garden – even when outdoor water restrictions are in place.  

Don’t have a rain barrel yet? Green Calgary’s annual rain barrel sale is coming to a community near you.
