About this Event
Update: This event has been postponed from Sunday 7 April to Saturday 18 May.
It falls! It’s free! Catch it while you can! There’s never a better time than the present to learn how to collect rainwater.
Join rainwater harvesting guru and multi-talented inventor Laurie Dee who will take you through how to build your own rain barrel collection system.
You’ll learn:
- how to calculate how much rainwater your roof could capture
- all about water dynamics
- council regulations for larger systems and other frequently asked questions
- After a quick break we’ll have a practical session where you’ll get your barrel drilled* and ready for set up at your place.
Join the rain harvesting club to start saving water and reducing your water bills!
* NB. EcoMatters store sells rain barrels and connection kits. Please let us know you are interested in getting a system on the day.
Workshop attendees receive a $10 voucher when purchasing a rain harvesting kit*
(*one or more barrels with connection kit).
