Rain Barrels
ECVC is proud to assemble rain barrels for Epoch Rain Barrels. Did you know that a 1-inch rainstorm can produce more than 700 gallons of stormwater from a typical roof? Rain barrels collect and hold rainwater from rooftops, which can be used for watering ornamental plants, gardens, and lawns. These barrels are a simple way you can help the environment.
You can purchase your rain barrel for $109 at the ECVC Frame Shop.

When placed under a downspout and used to collect runoff water from a home, one rain barrel can save a homeowner about 1,300 gallons of water during the peak summer months, versus using sprinklers or a hose to water the lawn and garden. Epoch Rain Barrels are sold around the country to lawn and garden centers and to retail outlets such as Whole Foods.
Rain Barrels Significantly Reduce:
- Non-Point Source Water Pollution
- Erosion from Storm Surges in our Streams
- Amount of Treated City Water Used for Watering Lawns and Gardens
