Environmental Advisory Commission to Host Rain Barrel
Workshop in Leesburg
Leesburg residents can receive $25 discount on their rain barrel purchase.
Leesburg, VA (May 5, 2022) – The Loudoun Soil and
Water Conservation District, in partnership with the
Leesburg Environmental Advisory Commission (EAC), will
offer a rain barrel workshop in Leesburg on Thursday,
May 19.
While the workshops are open to all, Leesburg residents
can receive a discount on rain barrel purchases, through
a Town of Leesburg program sponsored by the EAC.
The workshop will be held at Tuscarora Creek Park (425
Solitude Court SE) beginning at 6 p.m. Participants will
have the choice of making a rain barrel or purchasing
one that’s already been pre-made.
Kits to make a rain barrel cost $60 each; the pre-made
barrels cost $80 each (prices include tax). As a bonus,
Leesburg residents can receive a $25 discount on the purchase of a rain barrel as an incentive
to promote water conservation. Discounts will be provided to the first 30 people that register.
Participants are reminded to dress appropriately if they will be constructing their own
barrels. For more information or to register, visit
