The City of Evansville’s Storm Water Management Department is proud to announce its continued partnership with the Coca-Cola Company for its Rain Barrel Program. The program, which aims to promote water conservation, has been a tremendous success in raising awareness about the importance of preserving water resources.
As part of this partnership, Coca-Cola will donate 55-gallon plastic drums, which will be converted into rain barrels. These rain barrels provide an eco-friendly solution for collecting rainwater, which can be used for various purposes, such as watering plants, gardens, and lawns while reducing water consumption.
Individuals interested in obtaining rain barrels for personal use are invited to participate in the pickup event, which will take place Thursday, July 20, 2023, at 11 a.m. The event will take place at the Back 40 Parking Lot, located behind the Civic Center Complex.
Please note that both pickup events operate on a first-come, first-served basis, and no reservations are accepted. We encourage participants to arrive early to secure their rain barrels.
For additional information about the Rain Barrel Program, please contact Karan Barnhill, Storm Water Coordinator at the City Engineer’s Office, Civic Center Complex, by calling 812-436-4977 or via email atkbarnhill@evansville.in.gov.
