About Us
Rain Water Solutions manufactures and distributes the 65-gallon Moby rain barrel as well as our latest addition - the 50 gallon Ivy rain barrel. We also design and install above and below ground rainwater harvesting systems. We work with residents, local and state agencies, and public and private institutions to develop custom solutions with the intent of protecting their landscape investment and reducing the use of costly, treated water. Our goal is to educate and engage our clients on the importance of protecting water quality through conserving water and reducing storm water runoff.
