New RainHarvest Campaign Launched
Are You Harvesting the Rain?Free. Legal. Water.
RainHarvest, is a rainwater collection program to engage homeowners and small businesses to use rainwater to reduce water use and improve water quality of local streams, rivers and lakes.
LEGAL
As of 2010 all Utahns are allowed to collect 200 gallons of rainwater on their property in above ground containers.
SAVES WATER
RainHarvest can help reduce water demand on municipal systems and provide more water for landscapes when its needed.
IMPROVES WATER QUALITY
Capturing rain water improves water quality by preventing urban runoff from flowing through streets and gutters.
OUR GOAL:
To partner with local governments to distribute large quantities of rain barrels to homeowners and businesses at a reduced price.
