Park City Offers Discounted Rain Barrels to Residents, Orders Due April 26

Park City Municipal and Utah Rivers Council are making 100% recycled rain barrels available to residents for $88 each through the 2026 RainHarvest Program. Orders must be placed by April 26, with barrel pickup set for May.

The $88 price is what program organizers describe as heavily discounted, and supply is limited. Once available inventory is claimed or the April 26 deadline arrives, ordering closes for the season. Roughly three and a half weeks remain before the cutoff.

The RainHarvest Program is a partnership between Park City Municipal and Utah Rivers Council, a Utah-based nonprofit focused on river systems and regional water conservation. The collaboration uses a subsidized pricing structure to make residential rain collection equipment available below retail cost, prioritizing access for Park City residents over full-price distribution. Each barrel in the program is manufactured from 100% recycled materials, combining water conservation function with recycled-content construction.

Rain barrels capture runoff from rooftop downspouts and store it for outdoor irrigation, giving homeowners a water supply they can draw on during dry stretches without pulling from municipal systems. In Summit County's high-altitude, semi-arid climate, summer precipitation drops sharply after snowmelt season, making residential collection a practical supplement to municipal water during peak outdoor use months.

Contact Park City Municipal before the April 26 deadline to place an order. Because supply is limited, early interest may exhaust inventory before the cutoff date. Barrel pickup will be scheduled for May.
