Learn how to install a rain barrel, a rain garden, and other ways you can manage water on your property and beautify your landscape at the same time.

As a homeowner, you can have a big impact in protecting Lake Michigan by managing the water that falls on your property. Installing simple practices like a rain barrel or rain garden, can help reduce pollution and the risk of flooding in our neighborhoods, rivers, and lakes. Learn how to install a rain barrel, a rain garden, and other ways you can manage water on your property and beautify your landscape at the same time.

Qualified attendees will receive a FREE* rain barrel and diverter installation kit. This workshop will be provided by Clean Wisconsin in partnership with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD).

*Limit one per owner-occupied household. Must live within the MMSD service territory and not received a free barrel from MMSD in the past.
