1. Green Water Rain Barrels are 100% recycled from local Austin companies. Plastic does not hold up well in Texas weather and can allow light which promotes algae growth. Green Water rain barrels are made from high-quality steel. The barrels we select for use are lined with a polymer lining that prevents rusting! The contents are also food-grade or higher, so no contamination issues. Your green purchase helps save landfill waste by renewing local discarded materials and is the most environmentally sound rain barrel on the market.
2. Green Water Rain Barrels have higher water collection capacities (up to 165 gallons). A single unit is 55 gallons, but we carry larger capacity systems.
3. All Green Water rain barrels qualify for the City of Austin (UP TO $82.50!!) and the City of San Marcos ($50) Rain Barrel Rebate program. Click HERE for more information.
4. Sturdy wooden stands are included with all purchases at no additional costs. This is important, as all other rain barrels do not include this feature. Rain barrels that sit on the ground and do not have a spigot connected to the bottom of the unit will have low water pressure, and are hard to fill watering containers with. Our specially designed stand allows for higher water pressure output and elevates the rain barrel for easy access.
5. All metal fittings are included at no additional costs. Many rain barrels only allow for a small spigot nozzle which may not be compatible with all garden hoses. Our brass fittings assure that any garden hose can be attached to our systems PHOTO SPIGOT.
6. Debris screens keep out roof debris and prevent mosquito growth. Other rain barrels require constant cleaning and the use of mosquito dunks to prevent insect growth. Green Water units come fully-assembled and ready to use.
7. Overflow valve allows overflow rainwater to be diverted to other areas away from the foundation. This is recommended by all professional roofers and gutter companies.
8. All multilink systems use a 2” connection hose which allows for immediate collection in all barrels. A 2” hole also allows for higher water pressure outputs. All barrels fill up and empty at the same time! Other connected units on the market have a small 1/4″ hose which does not allow for uniform filling and draining.
9. Pricing—Green Water rain barrels are priced lower than many plastic units found online. Our triple unit (165 gallons) is one of the most economical rain barrel found anywhere.
10. Delivery and professional installation availablefor Central Texas.
11. Rain chains and other accessories can be found at Green Water, making your rain water harvesting shopping a one-stop-shop.
12. Green Water supports many local water saving conservation initiatives and non-profits. Part of your purchase goes to help Central Texas water conservation missions.

The Pecan Street Festival is a free, bi-annual juried arts and crafts festival held on 6th Street in Austin, Texas. The festival has been an Austin tradition for more than 30 years. The show features artisans from all over the United States who display and sell homemade art and craftwork. Festival goers can find paintings, sculpture, woodwork, candles, jewelry, cowboy hats, home decor, games, and other useful and whimsical household items.
Local musicians provide entertainment on five stages. The festival is the largest art festival in Central Texas, attracting over 300,000 people per event and generating $43 million in economic impact. The show benefits local charities including the Austin Boxer Rescue, Friends of the Planetarium and United Care USA. The show is also the primary fundraiser for the Old Pecan Street Association, an organization established to preserve and beautify 6th Street.
Like Austin itself, Pecan Street Festival attendees are diverse. Festival admission is free, so people from all walks of life flock to the streets. Some come to buy art. Some come for food, others for the music, but they all come to take part in a tradition that is 100% Austin and has been known for the last 30 years as a great way to spend a weekend.
Sixth Street is the heart of Austin’s live entertainment scene and the self-proclaimed live music capital of the world. It is lined with many historical houses and commercial buildings dating from the late 1800′s and early 1900′s. The storied old buildings now house numerous bars, a host of live entertainment venues, art galleries, casual cafes and upscale restaurants.
