N E W S R E L E A S E - Beaver Water District Conducts Rain Barrel Workshops Saturday

For immediate release: October 2, 2008

Beaver Water District will conduct three rain-barrel building workshops at 10 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4, at the Arvest Plaza on the downtown square in Fayetteville, as part of the Twist of Green festival. Those participating will learn how to build a rain barrel and leave with step-by-step instructions. Additionally, barrels built that day will be given away in a drawing to those who attend. Rain barrels are a water conservation tool. Positioned under a gutter of a home, a rain barrel will capture runoff during rain events. Water may then be used to water the lawn and flowers.
