Council Member Abbie Kamin is excited to launch our annual rain barrel program for District C!

You must purchase your rain barrel within 5 business days of receiving the purchase link - if you do not purchase your rain barrel by this date, you forfeit your spot to a resident on the waitlist.

Rain Barrel Sale! The District C Office is sponsoring 150 rain barrels at a subsidized cost of $10 each. One barrel per address/household per transaction to ensure all District C residents an opportunity to purchase one.  

Purchased rain barrels must be picked up on Saturday, April 19 between 9AM and 12PM during your assigned time slot. Additional information will be provided in advance of pick-up.

Please email anna.smith@houstontx.gov and districtc@houston.gov if you have any questions about the District C Rain Barrel Distribution.

Why Rain Barrels?: Harvesting rainwater contributes to flood mitigation, water quality, and water conservation. A rain barrel reduces the amount of stormwater runoff from your home, and you can use the collected rainwater for watering your lawn and garden, which in turn reduces your municipal water usage! Water is a vital natural resource- conserving it and preserving its quality is not only good for your home and neighborhood, but also good for our environment. 

$10.00 - City of Houston District C

You must be a District C constituent. You can check your council district here.  Limit of 1 subsidized rain barrel per household.

Make sure to use the discount code that has been emailed and click APPLY and confirm your total is $10.00 at checkout to receive the subsidized price.

What if I cannot pick up my items?

- For one day distribution events we can’t guarantee your order will be held for a later pick up. You can have a friend or neighbor pick up for you as long as they have your name, receipt and/or order #. For year-round sales please follow the instructions on your receipt or reply back to your receipt with any questions.

Will the rain barrel fit in my car?

- Yes, your barrel will easily fit in the back seat of most 4-door sedans or hatchbacks. We can even nest them and fit 2 to 3 in the back seat!
