RISE Up to Reduce Your Storm Water: Communities Building Rain Barrels

   We would like to thank those who have supported our RISE Up to Reduce Your Storm Water: Communities Building Rain Barrels program that we have been implementing since the spring of last year. Our goal was to expand our urban conservation by installing 200 rain barrels across Steuben County. Thanks to the tremendous support from the residents of Steuben County we were able to distribute all 200 barrels, and even assembled 40 additional barrels. Click on the following link to watch our 2011 RISE Up to Reduce Your Stormwater Wrap Up video.

   Currently there is a limited number of barrel remaining for distribution. If would like to reserve one of the remaining barrels Please Click Here
