Purpose of a Rainbarrel Captures water from impervious roof area Reduce runoff leaving landscape to become stormwater Reduce household water use

Rain Facts The price of water + sewer in Athens-Clarke County is $5.06/1000 gal. A one inch rain on 1,000 sq. ft. roof = 624 gallons enough to fill over 11 rainbarrels, and a value of $3.27 One tenth of an inch of rain on a 1,000 sq. ft. roof is more than enough to fill a rainbarrel
