Did you know?  The City of Ottawa offers a $50 rebate for all residents who purchase a rain barrel.  It's not just for the waterban folks in Barrhaven, Manotick and Riverside South.  Some conditions apply, [ here's the info and application form ](http://ottawa.ca/residents/water/woodroffe/demand_management_en.html#P37_2338) .  I applied for mine yesterday.

If you are planning to buy a rain barrel, you should check out the community sales listed at RainBarrel.ca .  Several community groups are selling rain barrels through this site as a fundraiser.
