Newport News Waterworks, in cooperation with the Newport News Master Gardeners and the Newport News Recycling Office, will conduct periodic rain barrel "drive-up" distributions for the public  this year.  This is due to high public demand at our previous distribution event.

The cost to purchase a barrel and kit is only $60 per barrel, and will be held at the locations and dates listed below.  Also, you will be provided with a link to a video to help you with assembly.  You can also do a search on YouTube for Newport News Go Green Youtube Rain Barrel Workshop.
