Rain Water Collection for the Home Sponsored by the Pierce Conservation District Puyallup Monday, July 12, 6-7:30 p.m. There was an overwhelming response for the rainwater collection workshops held this past spring through funding provided by the 2010 Puyallup/Chambers-Clover Small Grants Program. Dan Borba from Natural Rain Water was a very passionate and knowledgeable instructor on the merits and uses of collected rainwater and the construction of home rain barrels. Class participants left with new knowledge and a water conservation tool they constructed themselves to use this summer when the western Washington rains decrease, but irrigation demands increase. Following up on the obvious enthusiasm for information about home rainwater collection and the use of rain barrels, we have scheduled another class this summer. This class will not be grant funded, so class participants will need to pay $53 to cover material costs. As with the last classes, we are limiting it to one barrel per household although those not making a barrel are welcome to come as well at no cost. Please contact Rene' Skaggs at (253) 845-9770 ext. 106 to register and obtain directions to the class location. Space will be limited to 30 people, so don't delay!
