Rain Barrel Rebates

Inexpensive and easy to install, rain barrels are a great way to conserve Town of Olds’ drinking water supply. Rain barrels collect and store rainwater that runs off your roof. This water can be used in your yard, reducing the need to use treated water from the tap. The average rain barrel holds approximately 200 litres of water and depending on precipitation, will fill about three times in a typical summer, which saves about 600 litres of water! Savings will vary based on use of water in the rain barrel and the amount of rain received.
