In this workshop, you’ll learn about the biggest stormwater issues in the District and how both the Alliance and DOEE are working to solve them. We’ll go over what rain barrels are, their stormwater benefits, and the basics of installation. We’ll also cover the RiverSmart Homes Rain Barrel Rebate Program, in which District residents can install a qualifying rain barrel on their property and then apply for a rebate of $2 per gallon of water the barrel collects. This workshop is open to anybody interested in learning more about stormwater and rain barrels in the District, including contractors, community members, etc.

Please reach out to Maya Sterett at msterett@allianceforthebay.org if you have any questions. The workshop will take place over Zoom on Friday, September 29th from 12noon-1pm. Please register in advance to receive the meeting
