It's the perfect time of year to consider adding a rain barrel to your home. Come join the Stream Team on Friday June 24th to learn how to build and install your own rain barrel!
When it rains, stormwater moves quickly over impervious surfaces such as buildings and roads, picking up pollutants like nutrients, sediment, oil, chemicals, road salt, and metals. By capturing stormwater before it flows over roads urban residents can help decrease the amount of pollutants entering Lake Champlain.
The water you save in a rain barrel can be used for watering lawns and flower gardens, and washing your car or tools. Rain barrels help decrease runoff to Lake Champlain by capturing and holding rain water during a storm, and that means cleaner water for everyone.
The workshop will be hosted at the City of South Burlington Department of Public Works located at 104 Landfill Rd. in two sessions, 10:00am-11:30am and 1:00pm-2:30pm on Friday, June 24th , 2022. The cost is $40, which covers the cost of supplies.

The Chittenden County Stream Team (CCST) is a project to engage citizens across a nine-municipality area (Burlington, Essex, Essex Junction, Milton, Shelburne, South Burlington, Williston, Colchester and Winooski) to implement projects that reduce nonpoint source pollution and stormwater volume at the local level. The program is managed by the Chittenden County Municipal Separate Storm Sewer designated towns and run by the Winooski Natural Resources Conservation District.
