0 Comments

 
The deadline to order is Sunday, May 27 at 11:00 p.m. and pick-up at two locations
 
Charleston County Government and the Ashley Cooper Stormwater Education Consortium are offering 100% recycled rain barrels to residents at a discounted price through May 27. It is part of an effort to encourage residents to conserve water resources and protect water quality. The normal retail price is $129, but through a special partnership, they are $68. Water collected by the rain barrels can be used for gardens/lawns and to wash cars.
 
Pick-up locations:
 
  • Friday, June 1, 2018
4:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Gahagan Park
515 W Boundary Street
Summerville, SC 29485
 
  • Saturday, June 2, 2018
9:00 - 11:30 a.m.
Lonnie Hamilton Public Services Building 
4045 Bridge View Dr
North Charleston, SC 29405
 
The rain barrels can be purchased through the program’s website, https://www.rainwatersolutions.com/products/acsec-ivy, using a credit card. There will also be a limited number of rain barrels for sale on pick-up days through a first-come, first-serve basis.
 
Rain barrels capture rainwater from rooftops by connecting to the home’s downspout. This water would typically be sent down the storm drain carrying potential contaminants and contributing to flash flooding.
