October 21st & 28th, 2022 | Rainbarrel Workshops. Ready to install a rain barrel? SPLASH has partnered with the Colorado Stormwater Center to present two rain barrel workshops in October! Each workshop will include a presentation from the Colorado Stormwater Center and then assistance with building your 55-gallon rain barrel. At the end of the workshop, you will have a 55-gallon rain barrel and connector kit. We also will send you an installation guide to connect your new rain barrel to a downspout. You will need to be able to take home your rain barrel at the end of the workshop. Sorry, but we will not be able to store your rain barrel for pick up at a later date.
