Let it Rain
Are you prepared when the rain starts to fall? Having a rain barrel in your yard is an easy and cost-effective way to conserve water and protect the environment.
Did You Know?
- Rainwater is soft and non-chlorinated, which can stimulate plant growth and make soil healthier.
- Rain barrels help lower contaminants within our streams, elevate our local water quality and keep our natural waterways free of external pollutants.
- Using rain barrels reduces the demand on water treatment facilities.
So Where Can You Get Your Very Own Rain Barrel?
As part of the City of St. Albert's ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, the City has partnered with LBH Building Centre to offer 600 rain barrels (100 more than 2022!) for sale to residents at $65 each on May 13, 2023.
Get yourself a rain barrel - or two - this year by checking out the Rain Barrel Sale Event.
As this popular event typically sells out, residents are encouraged to arrive early to reserve barrels, as there is a limit of two per person.
Once you’ve procured a rain barrel at the upcoming sale, or just your local hardware store, if you’re wondering how to set it up, be sure to check out the City’s Rain Barrel Brochure
