It seems as if everyone in Philadelphia has had enough of the wet spring we’ve been having.
Picking up on those soggy feelings, CBS Philly did a short segment on one great way to cope with all the showers—our Rain Check program.
Check out the rain barrel setup and beautiful planter in the video below, and think about signing up for Rain Check to get a stormwater tool for your home (sorry, this content is no longer available)
While being part of the Rain Check program won’t chase the clouds away, you can help to keep excess stormwater out our sewers and protect Philly’s rivers while getting a free barrel or reduced-cost downspout planter, rain garden or permeable patio. Water collected in rain barrels can be used for things like watering flowers, and planters and rain gardens are a great way of adding landscaping to your property that also happens to protect the environment.
