The Philadelphia Water Department and the Mt. Airy Business Improvement District are rolling out the rain barrels along Germantown Avenue this spring. As a part of PWD’s Stormwater Management Incentives Program<\/a>, 15 rain barrels will be installed along Germantown Avenue to manage runoff and collect water for flowers and other plantings along the corridor. But that’s not all\u2014Newsworks<\/a> has info on the barrels’ decor:<\/p>\n

\n

“Another component of the project is a ‘call out to artists’ to decorate the barrels ‘using the themes of community, eco-friendly, and conservation’ [Mt. Airy Business Improvement District Executive Director Hollie]\u00a0 Malamud-Price said.\u00a0 Those interested in participating would be responsible for pick-up, painting, and return of rain barrels to BID. After that, BID will install the barrels along the avenue during an unveiling event.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The rain barrels should arrive next week; artists can contact Hollie Malamud-Price via the Mt. Airy BID website<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
