Rain Barrels
Rain barrels are used to capture rain water off of a roof to then be used later for watering or other non-potable uses. Installing a rain barrel is an easy, effective way to help slow stormwater runoff from your property and prevent potential water pollution.
FAQ: Is it illegal to have a rain barrel in Ohio?No! Statewide, rainwater harvesting is legal and encouraged locally to reduce stormwater runoff. Systems used for potable (drinking) water purposes, however, are subject to specific Ohio Department of Health regulations and require permits to ensure the water is properly treated. |
