Upper San Gabriel Valley MWD Offers Free Rain Barrels For District Residents Saturday, Feb 13

The Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District (Upper District) will be hosting a giveaway event offering FREE rain barrels for district residents this Saturday, February 13, 2016 at Monrovia
High School.

When connected to a home’s downspout, a rain barrel collects the rainwater that would typically flow into nearby storm drains, sewer systems, and local waterways. This collected rainwater can then be reused for irrigating outdoor landscapes and other purposes where potable water can be easily conserved. Upper District is offering these products free of charge as one of its continued efforts to help San Gabriel Valley residents combat the drought and prepare for the potential of El Niño storms.

The San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District will also be present at the event providing information to residents about mosquito prevention in/around a rain barrel.

8:00 A.M.
Supplies are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Residents should be prepared to wait in line.
