Noblesville residents and business owners may purchase substantially discounted rain barrels while supplies last, thanks to the Noblesville Clean Storm Water Program. In order to qualify for this program, residents and business must pre-order their barrel through the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) website, hamiltonswcd.org.
A copy of a Noblesville city sewer bill is required in order to obtain the discount, which will make the price per barrel $30. Only one barrel is allowed per address. (Photo provided)
This program is open to Noblesville residents and business owners who receive a city sewer utility bill. There is a limit of one rain barrel per address and quantities are limited. The retail value of rain barrels is normally $75 or higher but are available for $30 courtesy of the Noblesville Clean Storm Water Program. Diverter systems for rain barrel installation also are available on the online store for $25.
A copy of your city sewer utility bill (not Indiana American Water bill) will be required at the barrel pick up event at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Friday, May 29.
A rain barrel collects and stores rain water that would otherwise be lost. It is designed to keep debris and insects out (including mosquitos) and saves homeowners money. The Noblesville Clean Storm Water Program’s mission is to educate the public and promote practices that prevent water pollution and helps improve the quality of rainwater that runs off into streams, reservoirs, lakes and rivers.
