Based on supply, rain barrels may be available for purchase at a cost of $25 per barrel through the Water Conservation Program. The 55-gallon capacity rain barrels are blue in color, food-grade HDPE plastic and include an installed hose bib and overflow valve. Customers must supply a screen for the inflow hole and are responsible for installation. A Rain Barrel Guide is included with each purchase. For rain barrel availability and purchase information, please email waterconservation@cob.org or contact the Public Works Department at 778-7700.
After confirming that barrels are in stock and arranging for barrel pick up, customers must pay the $25 per barrel fee at the Finance Department at City Hall (210 Lottie Street, 8am-5pm M-F) and obtain a receipt. On the pre-arranged pick up day, customers should bring the receipt to the lobby of the Public Works Operations facility (2221 Pacific Street, 7:30am-12pm; 1pm-4pm M-F) to obtain their barrel(s). Customers must confirm the date for pick up of barrel(s) prior to arriving at the Operations facility.
