Rain Barrel Workshop in HMB

Oct. 12 Rain Barrel Workshop in Half Moon Bay
Half Moon Bay Library, Community Room A | 10am - 12pm
620 Correas St., Half Moon Bay



WHY SHOULD YOU INSTALL AND OWN A RAIN BARREL?
 

• Rain barrels aid in protecting local creeks and waterways, like the San Francisco Bay and Pacific Ocean, by reducing runoff that transports litter, chemicals, and other pollutants from entering storm drains.
• During the rainy winter season, rain barrels can help capture and store water. They can also prevent excessive moisture from effecting your home's foundation.
• 1,000 square feet of roof surface can capture over 600 gallons of water for every 1" of rainfall! Just think of the different ways you can use that water.

In our workshop you will learn about:

• The rain barrel rebate program in San Mateo County 
• The "why" and "how" of rainwater harvesting including a demonstration
• Different types of rain barrels
• Uses around the home and garden
